It's why I write. Someday, those memories thought to be long forgotten will live forever.

There are feelings you just wish you could forget them
But you can't cause there are things that keep reminding you
Or you're so terrified of forgetting something, someone that you hold on to the words that write
But the words seem to do nothing to peeling your scars off till they bleed one again
Yet you rather hurt than forget
Here's another way I look at it though. I have a writer's mentality and as such, when an idea, thought, feeling or emotion strikes me, I desperately cling to it so I don't forget it. Even when it's something that should be allowed to fade into the obscurity of my past.
So I write. Once I've put it 'on paper' in don't have to force the memory anymore. It tricks my brain into being able to let go.
You probably remember the turmoil I suffered a few months back. Tore me up something fierce. What did Do? I wrote. I wrote a screen play that is 106 pages so far and the novelization of which is already 30-40 pages.
While it hurt writing, ultimately it helped me let go.
