I once had this great idea that I could wipe out a memory by revisiting it.
Long story short. It didn’t work.
I had very special memories of Montreal and a man I loved.
So I took the train to Montreal and decided to go back to some of the places that were particularly poignant and just wipe clean the memories. A purge, if you will.
But all it did was depress the hell out of me.
So much for that.
Here is the correct way to deal with such memories: see the good that came from the experiences that gave you those memories.
That love affair taught me so much, and is invaluable to who I am now.
And I still love Montreal.
And I guess, I still love him.
