Memories being able to sustain you on a desert island is such a great way to put it.

To me, forgiving through the hurt doesn’t make sense. It seems contradictory. Like putting your hand on a hot stove and getting burned, then doing it again. Why put yourself out there to get hurt again?

The mundane we write off, but I agree, my memories would sustain me well if I were on a desert island or Mars or something…. very vivid in both directions, for better or worse.

I have learned to look at the hurt and forgive through it anyway, but it is not something that creates a stable, upright, strong person (at least not for me). Everyone THINKS you are strong, but inside there is still a crumpled child. Then when you actually scream, “BUT I’M A CRUMPLED CHILD BECAUSE OF YOU!”, everyone suddenly looks at you like sing jing bing!? WTF? and they really don’t believe you’re serious.

For certain things — such as history, politics, and geography — my memory is also terrible. I guess these subjects don’t mean as much to me as my everyday experiences. As you say, they’re a special room in my head.

hm, don’t think the same is true for me. my memory is comical-level poor. but hurts are a special room in the head.

lots of food for thought there.
