Shades of the past.
Reading posts that people made on my Facebook wall from 2007 really made me realize how many people I've completely forgotten existed. Several of them were people I used to interact with on a daily basis and were somewhat important to my life at the time. Not even a decade later and the fact that they were ever in my life at all has completely vanished from the annals of my mind. Memory is a fragile, unreliable thing. I can't help but wonder now which memories I have are mere fabrications and which are events that actually transpired. Reflecting back on it all it seems so surreal, as if it were all a lucid dream. How long before the events I brand into my mind at this very moment become those distant ghosts doomed to fade away into the obscurity of my mind? These concepts disturb me.
