Dear Charlie,
I think that we should all remember to forget. And I know that sounds contradicting but I think that it would save us a lot of time and a lot of lives if we did. And its just come to my attention that forgetting, is said to be the easiest way of moving on, except some things you just can't forget. And those things have been killing me.
I think that everyone has that one haunting memory that kills them inside. A child hood moment or a bad regret that they can't get to go away. And its embarrissing. And you don't ever really share it with people, but at random times it comes back to you and you try to blow it off really fast. And this has made me realize how permanent the past is, whether we choose to live in it or not. Because it can sneak up on you and catch you on a weak day.
This happened to me a few days ago and I told Erica everything. I told her about this memory I had of someone telling me something about a guy we both know. And I would tell you what it was but, I can't. And its not because I don't want to tell you, because I'd love to, but because it is wrong. And I know that eventually I will tell you all of it, but right now you should just know that it is illegal. And I didn't do anything wrong at all but someone else did. And Erica's helping me see that maybe it isn't such a bad memory.
Love always, Alia
