Today I have spent my day wondering about how time can heal things. There are things that have happened in my life that were extremely traumatic at the time, but now looking back they all just blend into the past. That's something that has been given to almost all of us- the ability to slowly forget, to smooth out the crinkles that cause us pain. Without this, I feel I would be a much weaker, more scared person. I would find it so much harder to overcome everything that I have. I've certainly led a better life that many people, I have never lived on the streets or have been physically abused. But sometimes I don't think that people get what I have been through. There are people with faint ideas, but most people just don't know. I have a feeling that everyone feels understood like I do to a certain degree, no matter what kind of life they have lived. Regardless of any factors, I think it can be agreed that the ability to forget is something that can be considered priceless.
There have been cases where people can remember everything though, and that possibility terrifies me. I've watched videos on different people who can remember everything with such clarity and perfect recall that to the general public, it comes off as eerie. If I were one of these people who just couldn't forget, no matter how hard I tried, I'd go insane. I don't think I could handle remembering everything.
