“Remembering. Forgetting. I'm not sure which is worse.” - Kelley Armstrong

Decryption of quote

Remembering. Forgetting. I'm not sure which is worse.

These words speak to the eternal struggle of the human mind, caught between the past and the present, between holding on and letting go. Remembering can bring comfort, nostalgia, and a sense of continuity. It allows us to cherish our memories, learn from our experiences, and connect with our roots.

On the other hand, forgetting can be a blessing in disguise. It can help us move on from painful experiences, let go of grudges, and start afresh. But it can also be a curse, causing us to lose touch with our past, repeat our mistakes, and feel disconnected from our own story.

So which is worse? Is it the burden of carrying the weight of our memories, or the emptiness of losing them? The answer may vary from person to person, from situation to situation. But what is certain is that both remembering and forgetting are essential parts of the human experience.

Perhaps the key lies in finding a balance between the two. To remember without being consumed by the past, and to forget without losing sight of who we are. To embrace our memories as a source of strength and wisdom, while also being open to new beginnings and fresh perspectives.

Ultimately, the choice between remembering and forgetting is a deeply personal one. It is a reflection of our values, our fears, and our hopes. It is a reminder that we are the architects of our own memories, shaping our past and present to create a future that is uniquely ours.

So let us not be afraid to remember, nor to forget. Let us instead embrace the complexity of our minds, the richness of our experiences, and the beauty of our ever-evolving story. For in the end, it is our ability to remember and forget that makes us truly human.
