It makes sense to me because sometimes when life is really tough & challenging , I think I never forget what happened but after a while when everything gets better i forget what happened. In the next chapter, remembering what’s happened in the past and passed helps me to bear maybe with more confidence & calmer this will be passed too and I will forget and move forward with less hesitation

Yes, You are right life is full of these remembering & forgetting cycles! 😊

The theme of forgetting and the repetitive structure of this piece is freaking genius πŸ‘

Really good piece. I can relate to it a lot. Except for the part about not holding out hope for the remembrance becoming a permanent state :)

So comforting to hear other people’s experiences.

100% relate to this. And what’s so funny is that every time when I find myself β€œtrying” to remember, the only way I actually β€œdo” remember (partially) is by just letting go of trying to remember.

Btw, I love how you’ve written this without fluff words and still it’s extremely clear.
