I think the one thingwe take for granted in the entire world more than anything else is memories. We have so many memories and we don't even remember all of them. Right now I am listening to a song that came up on my iTunes and I can tell you exactly why I have this song. A boyfriend of the past once posted the lyrics to this entire song to me, shortly after that it was on the radio as my mother dropped me off at driver's ed which I hated because I didn't know anyone, but hearing this song on the radio and associating it with my then boyfriend meant all the world to me.
And now that I hear this song a good....8 years? later? Maybe more... I can still recall all of that. I can still remember the exact moment that I saw those lyrics for me. I knew then and there he would be my first love. He was and still is. We are good friends now and I thank the Lord every day that we were able to realize we weren't meant for each other at that time and were able to be great friends out of the whole experience. After all, high school relationships are sooooo overrated (ha. Haha.) But at the same time, that kid that for his own privacy I will remain nameless, and I were destined to be in each other's lives forever, we were just too young to understand that it didn't have to include sex.
There's no real moral, and I am sure I will bring up this subject time and time again because it boggles my mind every time how much we dismiss our memories when honestly, they are sooo powerful. a scent, a smell, a color, a show, a movie, or some simple song lyrics can change your mood instantly.
Did I mention this same song also got me through countless days of work as a strawberry picker?!
Someday Blue October, I will call YOU,
Em
