I found the notebook I started when I was 19 the other day. I had been looking for some early morning reading material (who knew re-reading "Night" by Elie Wiesel isn't a great way to start your day), and in all honestly, my shelves are filled with long since abandoned journals from brief periods of time dating back to middle school. It's a humbling experience to read about periods of your life that you've long forgotten. There are names that seem important and conjure nothing in my current subconcious. Specifically, the journal I found details my first real (dysfunctional) relationship, my first band and that apparently, that i don't understand the film "Repo Man". And a lot more.
My connection to the person that wrote the journal is now negligible. She was a pink haired freshman just learning about life, the universe and everything. And she was fucking depressing. In the end, I'm glad she wrote it all down. And I'm glad she's found greener pastures.
One of the wisest people I've met once told me "It's funny how how the things that seemed the strongest fall apart so fast." I never realised how true it was until I reintroduced myself to a younger me.

That's why I make a mix cd at the end of every year with all the songs that I listened to. It helps me remember random shit. Good or bad.
Like the one from 2001, one song just reminds me of driving around in Brighton to go get my good friend Jib and go to a concert for an entirely different band. THAT MEMORY IS FOREVER SAVED.
I've read over a few of my old journals, and sometimes have surprised myself at what I though about certain people, events and what I was really thinking at the time, as opposed to what I think about that time in hindsight. Sometimes, I'm glad I'm not there anymore.
Then again, some things never change. Some things. Most do. That Memory Is Forever Saved comment by bc is apt. Good thing is, it's recorded, then you can forget about it, return to it later. It's a luxury.
