REMEMBERING THE MISTAKES

 

Why do we remember what we remember?

That I don’t remember. I really don’t.

Next question: how do I learn to forget?

To forget the mistakes that weigh me down.

To forget the hurts that still hurt me.

I remember mistakes more than the good moves.

Next question: what do I want to remember?

One answer: The learnings that I learned

from the dumb things I have done.

Those things I want to remember.

They are the big blessings in my life.
