Getting older

It's weird getting older. My mind has already packed in whole sections of my life. It's amazing whole memories, things that at that time were the most important thing to me has been lost in the wind. and how how things are brought back into perspective. I never thought there would be a time in my life where I could not remember people places or things. whole entities.

forgotten for all time, until the time comes. where you meet that person. that place. the thing that has long been forgotten. and that warm feeling washes over you. the regaining of a memory long forgotten. whether it was good or bad. even bland and nonsensical. To have something come back from long ago is refreshing. I can remember at an early age thinking I don't want to get old enough to forget today. Now there are months missing. But that comes with the territory. And it goes to show you what the real impact ful things of your life truly was. It may not have been getting the keys to your first car or a date with your crush. Maybe it was swinging with one of your friends. Maybe it was a long walk on an icy road with no where to go. Maybe it was starring at the stars looking for something else. You'll never know what will really transform your life. Not even the moment it happens. Nothing is as important as it really was.

It's all just another day until your mind makes it something else. It always amazes me what those days really were. So what was today. A day with my daughter. Running around the park not unlike any other day. but what makes it so is my soul. My soul protecting a memory i can't give back. or give up. Because the time's your with the someone you love is never more important than the times you have long forgotten. Only you can hold the keys to the memories you have. and only you can appreciate the times that they were.
