The nature of memories...

I've been thinking, and reminiscing, a lot lately. Like A LOT... And it's made me wonder about memories.

There are memories I have that I wish I could forget, but know I never will...

There's memories that I find are slipping away from me, no matter how I try to hang on to them...

There's things that I should forget, or just don't need to remember, that just won't leave my mind...

And I wonder about why... And I think about how I feel...

It's frustrating, the things I can't forget, but at the same time, in some ways, I'm glad that I can't forget them. And I'm sad about the things that are slipping away from me.

Believe it or not, it's not like me to be so ... philosophical, but this has really been on my mind lately. And I wonder, sometimes, if I'm the only one who wonders about things like this!
