I haven’t forgotten
About the crowd, or the bartenders girlfriend who hasn’t seen me in a while.
I haven’t forgotten about the awkward exchange with the Uber driver once I entered his car.
I am resilient.
I could name the street at every stoplight, but it would just be filler.
I have unwound after a stressful evening,
And I remember.
I did not forget.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Keep up the good work.
Sometimes remembering things without being able to forget them is more a curse than a blessing
