Ghosts

People are apparitions.

What you see through the flickering windows in the subway are like frames from a million different spectacles put together into one silent moving picture.

Let me ask you, if we lose our memories, are we still ourselves?
We are made up of memories, remember?
But we lose so much of them and re-invent ourselves all the time that if all the past MEs and the past YOUs asked for their own place, they'd fill up a small city.
We are not who we were yesterday.

Can you imagine that tomorrow, you will disappear?

  1. we do re-invent ourselves every time. but even as we part ourselves from memories past, much of them have already affected us forever. we may not remember much from our childhood, or even what we said to our friends yesterday, but every single experience pushes some microscopic buttons in us that would forever mold us in the way we are now :)

    if time can be stopped, then i'd agree there are past YOUs and MEs. but i think that time doesn't stop, and there's just one YOU and one ME, forever evolving within.

    SUP EANDRA!!! HAHA! i'll see you in csa? :) how's summer???

  2. I just keep imagining that we keep shedding off our old selves like a second skin. And that we sort of forget about them.

    HULLO BRYAN :3 Haha, I suppose I'll be dropping by from time to time :D Summer is doing awesome. I've been relatively busy with the Koreans and Art Garage :) How about you? What have you been up to? :D

  5. Wowowow, awesome :D then you didn't get to vote! :( when do you get back? :) The Koreans are doing fine, they'll be moving somewhere by the end of the month tho, so I'd have to start commuting to work then, instead of strolling there :(
