Here are some things I can’t figure out about myself,

1. A mind like mine, that seems to erase a person entirely when I wish to forget them, maybe it’s not such a good skill to have, but it serves me just as well.
2. Why do I erase people from my life? Including my parents, and each of their families, past lovers, and everyone else I’ve left behind. I must admit, without sounding mean; I do not care once someone is behind me to ever turn my head and look back.
3. I always find a way to incorporate nature into my thoughts, like how I imagined myself writing this from underneath a pale blue sky instead of this hard desk chair behind a wall of phone number lists and computers humming away in the dark.
