On Searching for Clues


To Our Own Pasts.

Moments in our lives are not meant to be lived with the awareness that the majority of them will eventually be forgotten, and sooner than we think. (Breakfast last Tuesday? High school math teacher? Best friend's ex-boyfriend's cousin's mom?) From time to time, when we're reminded of life's transience, we might feel nostalgic and cling to the past, or baffled by how much has already happened. But those moments, too, are simply that - ephemeral points in time that will pass as quickly as they came - and then you can get back to living without realizing and remembering and be okay with that because that's how life should be. Enjoy!

  1. If I found myself sitting in a bar in Austria on a summer's night, I might be satisfied with that.
