It's said that being able to forget specific things is a blessing. Well, of course it is.
Being able to get over some difficult circumstances you'd been through is a blessing.
Getting over some people who weren't really that good to you is a blessing. Forgetting about all the negative thoughts taking over you is a blessing.
So, let us say that this type of forgetting is closer to moving on and it's definitely God's gift to you; He gives you the power to turn your back on things that you'd never be able to control because they're simply over.
But, what about forgetting what we're supposed to remember;what truly defines who we are and what we want to be? Suddenly and involuntarily, we forget about our true-selves; we forget our capabilities, dreams and ambitions. We lose our self confidence and find ourselves struggling without even knowing what we're struggling for. We just feel...empty.
This type, has absolutely nothing to do with the word blessing. However, it isn't a curse either; maybe it's another chance to rediscover your abilities and reconsider your ambitions and priorities, maybe it is not. Maybe it's because time and experiences change everything, and for every single bad experience you had, you'd let go of a part of what defined you.
So,don't forget who you really are and where you stand! Don't forget about all the plans you have for a bright future! Don't forget that you're unique at something and that you're certainly not the most screwed up person in the world. Just don't... because once you do, you get lost and nobody will be able to guide you.
