Things I never expected to forget

I am feeling rather old and melancholy today. Here’s a list of things I have unexpectedly forgotten:

  • The names of my elementary school teachers
  • My first crush
  • When I decided it was time settle for the life I have
  • What it felt like to run as fast as I can
  • What it felt like to be young enough to not know any better
  • How to be earnest without feeling ashamed and guilty about it
  • The sound of my father’s voice and laugh

If only I’d been a blogger in my youth, then I might remember all these things.

    I can’t think of a single thing I’ve ever forgotten. Which is either good news or bad news.
