Remembrance

Eventually, after you've forgotten everything that doesn't matter in life, you remember the things that do. You remember people who were there for you in hard times, the ones that pulled you out of the rutt, off the ground, brushed you off, and helped you learn how to walk in life again. The ones that maybe even saved your life, whether from outter or inner forces or influences. You remember the ones that stuck with you from beginning to end, through the thick and thin, between relationships, during relationships, and the ones that stuck up for you, and the ones you stuck up for. Why do you remember such things as these and forget such things as historical dates, favorite teachers, or the hottie in biology class? Because these reasons matter. They shaped and are shaping the very person you are today. The friends and events that you forget, aren't worth remembering because they're not worth remembering. They didn't effect the shaping of your person. The friends and events you DO remember, they are worth remembering, because, if not for them, you wouldn't be the person you are today. And then, once you've remembered the few memorable moments in yoor life, you realize who you truly love.
