I often wondered what it would be like to forget certain memories.
Memories that hinder me from moving on or making better decisions.
How would it be done though?
Maybe it could be as easy as taking a pill.
Or visiting a clinic that got rid them through a complicated procedure.
Maybe a surgeon could cut open my brain and take out the memories I don't want to remember.
and at the end of the procedure...
How would it feel to lose those memories.
Maybe all i'd have to do is sleep it off and not remember a thing then I wake.
It could be like an electric shock.
Or maybe the memories linger, slowly disintegrating, until we only remember fragments of it til they're gone completely.
But I know that science isn't that advanced enough and probably won't be in my lifetime.
Thats why science fiction is so fun.
Its something that we all have to live with.
Theres always amnesia, but you'd lose chunks of memories that you may want to keep.
Later on in my life, I realized that you have to compromise. Theres no way you can forget specific memories. You have to live them.
and I know that there are people who've had much worse happen to them in their lifetime.
Incidents that no one should ever go through.
Which makes me think about my own life in a different perspective.
Maybe i'm naive or that i'm just saying this because I know I can't change things, but I'd like to think that things happen for a reason.
As the saying goes. "Whatever doesn't kill you, will only make you stronger"
and I'd like to think I am now.
I don't think that there is anyone lucky enough in this world to only have good, happy memories from the moment they were born until they die.
And even if they did, how would they know what to do when a crisis comes along?
or for that matter,
How would they know what happiness is?
Its almost like light and dark.
Without light, there is no darkness.
and without darkness, there is no light.
Perhaps the compromise or the relationship between them..
is what makes us human.
