“I believe that everything can be written down. How tears form against your eyelids, how your first kiss feels, how the universe shatters into a million pieces. It can be documented in such a way that keeps its true form: the emotions that come with it. Writing things down keep things fresh. Alive. But most of all, it keeps things real. Once something is written down, it’s permanent; bound to the earth with words and the slices of the pen against paper. To be the one called on by the universe to keep a permanent record of the wonderful thing called ‘humanity’ is a beautiful and honourable thing.“

Okay so this was basically part of what I wanted to write from yesterday haha. Read this in a story.

I think it's really true! Memories fade away, details get foggy, you get on with life. Your brain can't possibly retain everything down to each specific detail. So yeah. Writing it down will probably help me to remember again. For all those things I haven't been writing or stopped writing about, I'll always remember why.

And now, off to do econs! Need to at least try ): either that or lit PC rah
