was browsing in borders last evening, and came across a quote from a book that listed about 500 annoying things. haha.. i should so co-author that book - me and my list of pet peeves :P

can't remember the exact words, so i'm paraphrasing here: it was about losing someone/ something.. and how even after completely letting go and forgetting is over and done with, nothing prepares one for the incisive pain when confronted by a random reminder of that loss.

sometimes, we can easily shrug it off and just continue with things that now occupy our time and life, but sometimes, the reminder/what was reminded would persist longer than it should, leaving us annoyed and saddened at the same time. there isn't really much you can do, 'cept for wait and not give into the temptation of a full blown revisit to the past.

the past couple of days, i was contemplating sending an innocuous festive text to someone, but i didn't (haven't?). i'm trying to come to term perceiving my actions as being irksome, and an unwelcome reminder..

i don't know if we could completely write someone/something off our memory. i reckon it's not possible, but maybe that's just me. times like this, i wish my poor memory would work in my favor, but it doesn't. cis. the next best thing is to hope for minimal pain when reminders assault. that would do.

saw this on someone's tumblr site. =)
dunno if it's real or photoshopped, but it is beautiful, no?
