nostalgicIt’s interesting how things work out, how instances align themselves in such a way that either creates a beautiful memory or a dreadful disaster. Our lives are full of them, memories. I can remember things from my childhood, like smoking the cigarette-butts we found on the ground, or my first kiss. Some memories are wonderful, some I’d rather forget; but whatever the memories they are laced together with others, and other people. Almost every memory I have takes place with someone else—sure, you can have a memory of waking up on the forest and looking at the stars all alone, and that might be the most powerful memory you have, but the bulk of our memories are with and of people.
