It's the oldest of the clichés, time being the best healer.
But does it actually heal? It dulls the pain, it fades the edges of your memories, it makes past seem not yesterday anymore.
That's not healing, that's almost cheating.
It's saying, "What will you hold onto when you don't remember the touch, the kiss? What will you miss when the hug becomes hazy?"
The intensity with which you miss someone is supposed to lessen with time plainly because you just don't remember enough about them, about how it was and about how you were then. But shouldn't healing mean that you keep the memories intact but they don't haunt you anymore? What if I don't want to only remember the few things time decides to leave untouched, but want to remember each moment, every moment? It's not feasible, it's unwieldy, I know.
But even then, what if I don't want to forget?

ReplyDeleteBut curious...what is it that you consider as the ultimate objective of blogging?
i believe if someone can provoke or initiate a line of thinking in others through his/her writing, the objective's acheved. if a blog can influence someone's thinking, guess its done its job. hope the curious cat is not curious anymore.
