Don't Forget. Don't forget anything. Don't forget any pain, humiliation, or disappointment that has ever happened to you. To forget is a defense mechanism to protect your psyche, but in the end it will only harm you, and deter your future activities. You will do things you cannot explain, feel those feelings that you cannot understand. Repressed memories will wreak havoc in your seemingly normal and well adjusted life. These memories will haunt you in the worst way, a blinding and debilitating illness with symptoms of absurd actions and a distinct anti-reality. I carry all my experiences with me to illuminate my status at all times. All actions I take are done so with my collective memory and knowledge. I cannot possibly ruin something good in my life with inexplicable feelings and habits from the past. It may be cold and harsh at times but it is all too real, and for that I cherish it. A tool for life fashioned from life.
