Life...
Life is like an irreversible chemical reaction. You can talk and think about the past as much as you want, but it won't get you anywhere. Walking forward, with your memories right beside you is the only option. Even so, memories are still intangible images of the past and is probably not even close to what you want. But that is life..you always want what you can't have, and what other people have. We are never satisfied. So it up to us to decide what we want to do with those bag of memories. We could either discard it because it is not what we want, or keep them close to us because that is all we have left of the past. It's our decision.

Do you remember that time we were in the computer labs discussing how a certain someone's parents wouldn't let her go over to her boyfriend's house even though they'd been at it forever and I said it was like trying to close an open coke can and you said it was like trying to reverse an irreversable reaction? that amazing original metaphor moment is in my bag of memories.

ReplyDeleteYou probably can't obliterate memories (unless you see a really good hypnotist) but as the events sink further into the past they'll stop occupying an unwelcome amount of your headspace (so no banging of heads against walls will be necessary.) Have you listened to Nightswimming by REM? It has a really pretty line in it: 'these things they go away, replaced by every day.'
That probably wasn't helpful. I'm procrastinating too.
