Stay ... away


The future has a dirty habit of arriving unannounced. – Anonymous

I’d say, the past has a dirty habit of resurfacing unannounced!

Some thoughts stay, and some don’t. Our mind is an amazing storage unit that few of us are able to comprehend. Some things remind us of significant achievements and some others remind us of trivial details, things that we wish we didn’t remember. Things we wish happened a different way, or didn’t happen at all. An erase or undo button would be of much help, wouldn’t it?

Sometimes, the more we try to forget something, its memory snaps itself back deeper and deeper sculpting its way through, making an imprint in our minds; mind over heart or heart over mind being a constant battle!

Is that why they say it’s easier to forgive than to forget?

I had a period like that last month. Lots of memories coming back. There are many things I wish I could forget and good things I can't remember...but we must, above all, learn how to live with the memories we have and make the best of them.

the key is to sublimate - meaning channelise thoughts on something of interest.

else, we keep fighting something - trying to get it all out of our mind, and all the while, we don't realise that we are only sowing the weed, and beautifully nuturing it in our minds.
