Description

After waking up one morning with no memory of his past, a man was forced to rebuild his identity from scratch. Even as fragments of his old life returned, he became convinced that the person he was before had died, leaving him to navigate relationships, trauma, and an entirely new sense of self. Eric reflects on the experience that turned his life upside down and why he believes it changed him into a different person.
