i agree! sometimes we want to forget something soo badly, but we can't b/c of the emotional memory attached to it.

Tulip, stop trying to forget things or lose memories. Keep them with you and when you're feeling down, remember those moments and help yourself realize how good you have it now as opposed to back then. Even memories that trigger painful emotions can come in handy sometimes. :)

but HOW? i know we have to do it, but how can we forget something?

I don't think you can - I've stopped trying. They've become a part of me now, I guess its just a process of accepting reality and making yourself realize that you can't change the past. I don't think you can ever intentionally "forget" something.

Have you heard the song "karoge yaad toh har baat yaad aayegi.." it means we remember because we want to... as humans we are veri fickle minded.. so if you dont get too invovled.. these old things will just pass you without impacting!!

put them in attic.. visit them once in a while.. if you find too much of clutter.. just get rid of them.... trust me.. your brain is not going to let you go off those memories.. you have to do it yourself...

Ah makes some shelves or drawers in your mind and then label them n file.
File them by topics is better.

Anyway, won't new memories replace old ones?

They seem to for me. I think I have young Alzheimer's.

Every year that goes by and more memories are added, the past seems to get fuzzier. Some years in my life have become a blur. Some experts say that I am a master at repression. I just think my brain is tiny and old.
