There are things in my life that will always remind me of certain people. Songs, movies, words, restaurants, streets, photographs, moments. When a person becomes distant from you these items become almost sacred.
There are songs I'm afraid to hear because I don't want to associate them with any other moment. There are movies I can't watch. I want to be curled up and safe again.
I believe a part of the healing process is to revisit these places. Themes. Last semested I found myself walking past a restaurant with a coffee in hand, trying to disassociate with it. Push it away. Find a new memory. And now I almost force myself to listen to those songs and watch those movies and take away the sacredness of those moments.
If it's meant to be it will be again? My whole outlook is such a question mark right now.
I finally sorted out my school schedule and it seems like it will be a good semester. I got into the history class I wanted, I'm in the process of making two books and I will have three gallery shows this year.
Trip to Scotland seems to have failed. Trip to Yukon seems to have potential.
I'm trying not to take everything so personal.
