I think it's kind of interestin how we seem to associate certain things with certain ppl or places or events in our lives. I mean, u walk through the hallway and smell a certain scent, and suddenly, u r taken back to another time where someone important to u smelled like that. or u walk through a store and find somethin that looks just like somethin that belongs to someone u know. that happened to me the other day. i was in walmart and i saw this pair of shoes that reminded me of this one girl who majorly changed the course of my life. it was kind of sad for me to stand there, stopped in my tracks, in the middle of the shoe aisle, allowing myself to remember what had happened and then for a minute, to be sad all over again. but then i put the shoes down and walked away, and i got my mind to focus on other things. I remembered the event, but after the ppl round me started lookin at me in wonderment b/c an inanimate object had gotten me upset, i moved on to try to find what i really needed. maybe that's how we're meant to move on- we retain a memory of the past and can reach it when we want to or need to, but after a while, we just leave that memory be for the current needs that have developed in our lives, only to be seen again when necessary.
