Memory Not So Great
I had a conversation with my sister recently about the fickle nature of memory, memory's convienent habit of remembering select things. This is especially true of one's memory of meaningful past relationships. What tends to happen, in my experience, is all the ill thoughts and the annoying habits of the other person tend to fade to oblivion and what's left are all the good, sweet memories and you ask the question, "Why did we break up again?" But then you pinch yourself on the buttock and remind yourself that things weren't all peachy and the ill thoughts come flooding back. Now the comment is "Oh ya," and you get a little stubble of anger and everything makes sense until more time passes and you forget again and ask "Why did we break up again?"
