Oblivion

They say that distance makes oblivion, that the best medicine is time, that everything comes, changes and passes. However, there are people who mark a before and after, and although we resist, live with us day by day; In a song, in an aroma that takes us to that place or in a simple expression that we hear of rebound and immerses us in a talk with him.

We strive to erase from our memory those people we have felt and have left, desiring to forget our looks, smiles, words and, above all, moments. Love is so short and forgetfulness is so long ... they say, and perhaps it is because, simply, we should not forget, but learn to live with the memory, because without it, we cease to be.

We are made of experiences from the past, we are what we are thanks to all those people, those who have left and those who are still here. Those that have made us stronger, and sometimes more vulnerable, with whom we have known mistrust, risk, innocence and fear, illusion and disappointment, people who have allowed us to know a little more. There are moments worth remembering. That moment in which you thought that you would not fall in love again and suddenly, a person arrives that shows you that your heart is still more alive than ever; Or that moment in which you realize what gives you stability and what can get you to disturb; People who help you discover what makes you laugh and what makes you cry. Moments that generate feelings that guide our way.

And the key is to know what to forget. If that person hurts, forget it, but stick with why you want to erase it from your mind today. Otherwise, you run the risk of going back. Reality is only one, but it is easier to accept it if you lean on facts of the past, if you have present what was, to understand why today is not. It clears your face, your caresses, your kisses, your anger, your surprises, but do not erase what they made you feel, do not forget that a caress of yours comforted you when you needed it most, nor forget that a contempt of yours made you cry that nigh. Do not forget the good thing to live in peace and do not forget the bad thing to smile because it is no longer.
