Today's 100 words:
I wish I could erase some memories from my mind--especially the embarrassing ones, when I did or said something particularly dumb and then felt like a fool afterward. They make up the blooper reel of my life, and I wish that my mind didn't feel the need to relive them over and over, but for some reason, it chooses to come back to them. Worse still, I add several new scenes to the reel each year, so there will always be something to cringe about, even if I am lucky enough someday to erase past embarrassments from my mind.
My problem is that i keep adding new dialogue, as if I could change the event now if I'd only said something different. Obviously my bloopers are all about me putting my foot in my mouth.
ReplyDeleteI do that, too. Lord knows I've put my foot in my mouth more than once...
DeleteI still cringe at some recollections that others have probably long forgotten. I'd like to say I've learnt from them, but I doubt I've learnt everything from them.
ReplyDeleteI think about that sometimes, too--that the very things I cringe about have probably been forgotten by most everyone else. That doesn't make the memories any easier for me, though.
