Some memories
I have intentionally misplaced.
It's better that way.
If I can't find them
I don't have to deal with them.
I'll just leave them in
yesterday.
It's better that way.

It's sad but true, some memories are best kept hidden behind locked mind-gates.

Yes, I guess we all have some of those, Kacy.

When you do this consciously, then it's a great solution, dear Ida!

I think many can relate and approve of your wisdom.

Love,

Yo dear Ida,

Memories that are forgotten are no longer memories. I don't believe that they can be intentionally forgotten.

Dear Ida, it is only the good memories
that are worth remembering, forget all the

rest, just don't regurgitate them ever again
and you will be a happier person. Love.

Selective memory has it's advantages.

You are always so thought provoking, and I love that about your poetry.

I like this poem .. kind of like seal our memories up with a seal-a-meal. That might work. Thank you, Ida. Are you feeling better?

Hugs to you.

Yes, I agree with you up to a point, Ida. However, most, if not all of the bad ones, that can be regurgitated to deal with in a way that brings a modicum of different understanding, and so closure, and so peace.

I totally agree! Now, if I can just get those memories to stay misplaced, I'd be in good shape. LOL!
