My #100thankfuldays ~ Day 87

The thing about remembering is that you don't forget.
You can learn from what you remember, but you can't change it.


When you remember me, 
it means that you have carried something
of who I am with you, that I have left some mark
of who I am on who you are.

It means that you can summon me back to your mind
even though countless years and miles may stand between us.
It means that if we meet again, you will know me.

I tend to think we are what we remember, what we know.
The less we remember, the less we know about ourselves, the less we are.

Remembering brings us backward while allowing us to move forward.
When your heart knows the truth, it never forgets.♡
