Gaps. Holes.

There's a period of about three months I'm pretty sure I've repressed - When I was seven I was quarantined with scabies for quite a long time. I can remember events leading up to it with utmost clarity, but it's as if there's just a total blank of three months right there. I even remember arguing with my mother over whether it actually happened at the age of eight, and even after being shown pictures of what my back looked like at the time, I couldn't remember a single thing less than a year later.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I've honestly never really given it a huge amount of thought. It was my mother's impetus to move me to a different school afterwards (apparently nobody would go near me when I returned), and I don't know if I actually did ever have any real memories of that time, but... I'm totally in the dark.

Maybe it damaged me, maybe it didn't. It's still baffling that I can perfectly recall most things from around the age of two onwards, but I'm missing a large chunk of time right there.

Perhaps I should get it examined one day.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
