“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” ― Maya Angelou
Sometimes, people tell me – “I moved on! I changed, I’m not the same person!”.
This leaves me in shock – how can people change what they feel about X (X can be a person, a situation, a thing, an action, a habit, a hobby)?
While I do have a poor memory (sometimes, life seems to look a lot like “Memento” (2000)), there are some things I can’t forget – mostly how I feel about X.
Finding out people can actually move on from a thing in their past is simply amazing!
On another note, I’m as much puzzled when I meet people who can’t move on. The opposite is, it seems, also true.
Also, a song on memory – Barbra Streisand – Memory. :)
