amnesia

I was reading a short story about a woman who was in a car accident and lost 10 years of her memory. No Husband No kids No old boy friend.
What would you want to forget?
Of course I wouldn't want to forget my husband or my children but if I didn't have a choice with that, How far back would I go?
Let's see...
Maybe my first marriage. yes I was married before but I have known my ex-husband since I was in elementary so I wouldn't want to go that far.
What about old boyfriends? Well there was good times and bad times so I guess I would want to forget right before I started dating my first husband but after I started dating that guy with the leather jacket I am glad to be finished with him.
What do you think?

There are people I would love to forget, like a couple ex boyfriends. But mostly there are days I would love to skip altogether. There is one in particular I would love to never have happened and that day is April 17, 1987. That is the day I totaled the van.

hmm, I've always been of the mind that if you don't make the choices that you make then you can't move forward and learn from them, but that said I think there are a lot of things that I would like to selective forget. Probably not large portions of life I don't think I could say the last five years but more that moment of time during this year and that one during that year.

And of course I'd like to forget being sick with babies and giving birth cause that just sucks. :)

If you had to start at a point and forget from that point to today when would it be?
