“ I was angry at the world for not understanding me, but mostly, I was angry at myself for not fitting in, for being too much and never enough at the same time.” as someone who has made myself digestible for everyone around me, this post made me feel seen! Such beautiful words and emotions in your work :)
I agree that memories come back when we are ready to face them and I love that you're allowing yourself to feel them instead of running away - it's already a courageous act!
This was such a beautiful write-up. I've been going through very similar feelings as memories from my past have been cropping up. I think they want us to process everything we've deferred for another time. The grief, sorrow, happiness, and love we felt or missed out on. It's been healing and painful all at once, both feeding into the other. Wonderfully human. Thanks for sharing!
And with your article, the 4th and 10th paragraph- closely resemble eachother- your first memory of being inbetween the past and future- of what’s happend and what will happend- truly feeling in the middle- I visually see this as the transportational portal that Thor uses to travel in between planets ahah- such. Whirlwind-
I think you would really like the one-shot manga- goodbye Eri- it dives into how we choose to be remembered- and what it mean to be remembered- or to have the memory- an invisible tangible channel of a person/place/time within- you
Memories appear because we didn't allow them space to breathe and integrate them into our reality. I am glad you are greeting them with curiosity and reflection. Thank you for this post!
thank you so much for posting this, I'm glad you were able to get it out of your draft's, because this has really touched me in ways I couldn't explain. this is how I feel and you worded it impeccably. thank you, truly.
This really speaks to me. What I keep asking myself is why my demons continue to attack me even after I let them in and allow them to say their piece. It feels like, even though I've learned the lesson, they can't trust me to remember. Thank you for speaking my mind. 😁
I really resonated with and appreciated this article. Sometimes, I wonder if memories are like dreams – they come as invitations to reconnect with a part of yourself that needs healing or integration. I try to pause and welcome them in and circle around them, almost like a dance. It’s my way of absorbing them into the new system, so I can include and transcend them. Everything belongs.

This post resonated with me. A stray phrase can sometimes ignite the memory, and a lot of what was forgotten resurfaces.
I agree
