A Quote Too Big for my Skype Status
Posted 12 years agoMy sister started watching anime with her boyfriend on Netflix. And I caught an episode or two of one that I hadn't seen in a long time. And I heard something that, considering my recent difficulties...Well, that I needed to hear.
"But you know there's something I believe. I want to try and live my life carrying all of my memories with me...and even if those memories are painful...even if they do nothing but hurt me...I want to keep them. Even those memories I sometimes wish I could forget. As long as I carry them with me, as long as I can keep holding on...Then someday...someday...I'll be strong enough that those memories don't hurt me anymore. And I'll be glad that I have them. That's what I believe--with all my heart. That's why all of my memories are precious to me. I don't think it would be okay to forget a single one." - Momiji Sohma, Fruits Basket, Episode 15
I'm glad that I decided to make this a formal journal on FA.The last were from a time that's long gone, now. And I've come to realize that letting go doesn't mean that I can't hold on...
Some of you have wondered why I kept as much as I did...why I've hung onto as many things as I have,
And sad as I am to say it...I've sort of forced you to all to watch me torment myself with visions of the past. And if you've tried to understand I've likely left you only with either questions or ill-tempered answers.
So if you've wondered why...well I guess now you know. That quote explains it. And hearing the reason, so eloquently, from another source...well I guess now even I finally understand what I couldn't manage to explain before.
I also wanted to say my thanks...because a lot of you have kept helping to pick me up even though I've only kept falling back down.
That's a hurdle that I believe I've overcome...and for awhile, at least (and hopefully much longer...), I should be alright.
