Forget The Past

Forget The Past

One of the great things about getting older is that you have a lot to look back on. However, sometimes it's better if you don't. 

Relationships sometimes come to an end for a host of reasons. When it's fresh in your mind you ask yourself why. When it's fresh in your mind you feel confused, frustrated or angry as to why someone stopped talking to you. But, when you get older and the relationship ended a long time ago, you have forgotten what it was all about in the first place.

When it's fresh in your mind, should the other party call you, you tell them you're pissed. When your older and the other party calls you, out of the blue, you say to them: I'm not sure why we were fighting in the first place - want to do lunch.

Then you start thinking maybe I should be calling some people I stopped talking to a long time ago because I don't remember why I stopped talking to them in the first place. You see, friendships are very hard to come by and they get even harder as you get older. That's why it a hell of a lot better if you Forget The Past and try to renew the friendship for the future.

I almost lost a great friend. We didn't talk for many years. Then one day one of us called the other (I can't remember who went first and it didn't matter). We talked like nothing happened. When we thought about it we had no idea why we stopped talking in the first place. We laughed and now we are still great friends.

Sometimes having CRS (CAN'T REMEMBER SHIT) is the best solution to keeping friends you've known for many, many years still friends. I'm glad when we talked I;
