Film Out
April 03, 2021
Letting go is one thing; but letting go of something you believed you never have to is a different kind of heartbreak. And you'd think that's painful enough. Learning how to be at peace with the thought that's all that is left are just memories — that is where everything hurts.
But we settle with that. We protect these images in our heads so dearly because that is the only way to keep what was real. What was light. What was love.
Maybe that's why history is so important; because it's a shared piece of our lives that can never be taken away by anyone that comes after us.
And maybe that's why nostalgia was invented; because it's the closest way to remember the piece of ourselves that got lost, too, when they decided to leave.
