These people who contributed to who I am, they are with me wherever
I go, and as history gets rewritten in small ways with each passing
day, my love for them only grows because the truth is, it was the
best of times. Mistakes were made, hearts were broken, harsh
lessons learned, but all of that has receded into fond memory now.
How does it happen? Why are we so quick to forget the bad and
romanticize the good? Maybe it's because we need to believe that
the time we spent together actually meant something; that we were
there for each other in a time in our lives that defined us all, a
time in our lives that we will never forget. I can't swear this is
exactly how it happened, but this is how it felt.
