Do you find it hard forgetting something you are suppose to forget??? A girlfriend was sharing something 'painful' she was going through and I was at lost for words to comfort her. I couldn't find the right, soothing, calming words that some could do. She'd walk to and fro with her gestures here and there and all I did was sit, watch, nod plus the 'uh uhs' and 'hmms'. She'll stop and look at me and says "Ok Lola, you're here to listen. . ." then continues rambling. Then she pops the question "Can you forget. . ."
I reflected back on her question and wonder whether I could possibly forget and just simply delete something from my memory especially when it has a very strong impact in my life. The truth is I guess it's difficult to do so. At times when I've convince myself that I have put it behind me, it'll creep up at odd times!!!! Some say share it but probably the 'shoulder' I cry on is not comfy or spongy enough to absorb all the tears and. . . saliva;P. Then I guess it's back to making peace with the memory of it.....ooohh, the intricacies that life has to offer.
But, any chance of doing so?

you're right. it is hard to forget something that has made a huge impact to your life. didn't someone say memories are made to last?? if it's good, great. but if it's bad then hmmm we'll be haunted for life. sigh.
