One of the reasons Im so *damn* good at living for the present is that I cant remember the past.
The instant a moment is gone it blurs, out of focus. Then it fades into the blackness. I cant remember the mundanewhat I had for lunch the other day, what movies I watched last week. Nor can I remember the specialthe first kiss, the last heartbreak. Its all gone.
