What do you remember and what is to forget?
I got a link today where you enter your year of birth and it provides some information on what happened in your hear of birth.
So I open this website and enter my year of birth. It counts down and start speaking about Nobel prices that was won during that year. What the movies are that was extremely popular, the books the songs and so it goes on.
At one stage it speaks about, can you remember the song that was a hit. Do you still remember the songs playing on the radio when you were 15? Were you in love? Who were you i
n love with, do you remember?
That made me think back to me being 15 and my great love and in love and out of love phases I went through. Things were so complicated or so I thought.
From being 15 to almost being 30 such a great deal has changed. I've fell in love, I've been in lust, I've been happy and sad so many times it's hard to remember how many times that happened.
In the book Eat Pray Love (Chapter 48) Elizabeth speaks about how much she is missing David & how much she loves David.... Richard then says: "...People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that's holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most impo
rtant person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then they leave..."
I think that once in my life I met my soul mate. What an amazing experience. It was the strangest relationship (if it could be called that) I've ever been in. It was all wrong and all perfect at the same time. I think I must have been a person with the most maintenance ever! But his way with me, unexplainable! Control me in a gentle fashion. Put me in my place without using force. Make me smile for an entire day and nothing can upset me that day. Upset me and rock my world round like I've never been upset before. However, every time I got upset or sad it was just overshadowed by the smiles and laughs.
Since the time in that strange relationship - a great deal of events took place, which is out of the scope of this discussion. Reading up on this website where it asks you can you remember back to the age of 15 it made me think of how I have not been able to stop smiling the whole day. Is it cause of my soul mate (as referenced above)?
How do you remember that 'happy place' and all of the smiles and you forget about the complexities of today's life and try and be 15 again?
Can you remember what it felt like?
Perhaps, it is time that you stop wearing your wishbone where your backbone ought to be?
