"There is a secret bond between slowness and memory, between speed and forgetting. A man is walking down the street. At a certain moment, he tries to recall something, but the recollection escapes him. Automatically, he slows down.
Meanwhile, a person who wants to forget a disagreeable incident he has just lived through starts unconsciously to speed up his pace, as if he were trying to distance himself from a thing still too close to him in time.
The degree of slowness is directly proportional to the intensity of memory; the degree of speed is directly proportional to the intensity of forgetting."
What comes to mind now is 2 people that walked the same speed.. the difference of the pace, I guess this is what hurts the most. Probably, the difference between the most beautiful memories and the ugliest ones, both shared.
I'm such a kid, I still don't understand this life.
I'll soon leave, I'll stop writing here.. it's stupid. This blog used to fix me once..
