A Moment

They say, "Time heals all wounds."

I think it's weird how at times, certain memories can be so vivid--they feel so real and you feel like you're reliving the moment right then and there as you think about it. But, with the passing of time, those same memories can seem so distant to a point where you try to relive it, but it just doesn't feel the same. No matter how hard you try to hold onto them, you can't, and they just blend in with the rest of your thoughts. It could be that your mind--your body, is trying to bury them for your greater good because it knows that the existence of those memories are too painful, too toxic for your sanity. Regardless of whether those memories are living or not, and whether your wounds have healed, we are still left with the experience. . . and that is something that will stay with you always.
