Atoms, once drawn into the torrent of living matter, do not readily leave it.

I'm feeling very overwhelmed and discouraged. Everything is changing, and it's all I can do to hold on and ride it out. In the back of my mind, there is a ticking bomb. My senses are overwhelmed, and it's almost like I can feel every atom, every molecule. The weight around me is magnified and I feel like it could crush me.
