Personal Log:

It's been a while since something from my past has haunted me so ruthlessly. And yet, in a matter of days, I have had two traumatic revisits from mirky memories encroach my dreams and day thoughts. I wish that, despite what an honour it is to be a joined member of my species, that the thread that runs through all of my hosts was a little less... tangible. It's been years since I have confused my memories to that of a previous host, a nod to the excellent aftercare of the Trill Symbiosis Commission and Starfleet counselling, but there are certain thorns you grasp when smelling the rose of history. And it is those thorns that seem to embed into your flesh so steadfastly.

Despite this, I wouldn't change it for the world.

A Cardassian love affair and the needless abandonment of a colleague. How can I reconcile those? And both from different hosts entirely. It causes some conflicting thoughts to wrestle with.

For the most part, I think I manage quite well. But there are always those dark nights where a bottle of whisky can dull the darkness that creeps ever inward. It's at moments like these where I throw myself into my work.

End log.
