I'm very much that same way too. I don't get it. I don't learn anything from looking at my past, mostly it just makes me cry, (whether the things I'm thinking about are happy or sad). I'm just...an "all at once" girl, I don't really move on from anything, I don't grow into a different person with time, instead I become a walking culmination of a thousand selves stitched together, constantly sewing new selves on. With the thousands of memories & desires of each self buzzing in the backs of my ears, every day, all day.

Maybe we try to write or draw the buzzing down to shut it up, or at least give it a point. I don't know.
