the marks of memories forgotten

(I don't say this very often, so I'll try to make it articulate and you'll try to pay attention, okay?) I was wrong. I said that all the emotions we'd felt and then forgotten were a waste of time, but I was wrong. All the anger and the tears, all the heartache and the anguish, all the loves lost and hearts broken - they make us what we are.

I may have forgotten the arguments I've had, the tears I've shed, the love I've left behind, but they made me stronger, or wiser, or more compassionate. They made me love a little deeper, or with a little more care. The effects live on, even if the memories don't.

(With thanks to VN, for reminding me)

* the marks of memories forgotten
* wasting emotions, over again
* intentions, and such
* nothing unusual, nothing's changed - just a little older, that's all (damien rice : amie)
* now I understand! It doesn't make sense because it isn't supposed to

a not that ugly design
looking down
when ideas fail, words come in very handy
keep an eye on the present
look to the future
but don't forget the past
keep wishing
keep dreaming
keep those you love close
keep writing it all down
keep making new friends
and never forget who you are
or where you come from
all opinions appreciated
