“Second thoughts?
Second thoughts my dear, second thoughts? As if you made a mistake? I see how you lips quiver and tremble at the thought of before. As the memories you so joyously created long before your birth into this world pour out of your dark pleading eyes, I know you lived another life. Your eyes glaze over and you are transported to another world, a world unfamiliar to the sights and sounds of today, and you know it so well you can smell it. You had hopes and dreams, some of them led you here, led you to create me, a vessel for all of your anxieties. But you never considered back then that the every day, the ordinary, would become a treasure, something you would treasure with your whole being.
Now, you see what you never saw before, the fine wire attached to every appendage on your body, to every hair on your head. They are attached with the strongest cement known to mankind. They are attached to your every breath of yester year. You can never dissolve it. You can never break the bonds of your past.
But these memories are poison.
The only way to rid us of these burdens, these tiresome recollections of a life long gone is to forget.”
