I wish you could clear your mind like you can clear your browser tabs on your cellphone or computer. It would be so nice to be able to say to yourself, “I really don’t want to dwell on the fact that 12 years ago I fell down in front of 100 strangers.” and just close out that tab to be lost forever.
As I get older I find it harder and harder to keep track of all the things I need to remember. I literally use multiple calendars and phone reminders. It does not seem to always work. But hey I can recall any single embarrassing time from the last 40 years at the drop of a hate so there’s that!
Now that I am partially empty nesting it, 3 kids moved out but one still at home, I feel like I should have my shit together better. I do not. I will continue to recall every embarassing moment from 30 years ago but not be able to recall what days my son get’s out of school early. As it stands I still have not made that phone call to the orthodontist I should done a week ago to get his bracket fixed. I guess I better do that now, while that tab is still open.
