To the memories I didn’t want,
I’m sorry that I was so hostile towards you, rejected you, tried to make you feel invisible. But today, I am wholly glad you exist; that you didn’t disappear or abandon me like I asked you to.
Today, I wonder where I really would be without you teaching me so much – the patience, the acceptance, teaching me who I really am and most importantly how to love myself; this amazingly imperfect me.
You survived, just like I did. Today, I won’t ask you to go away. Instead, I ask you to sit with me a while. Maybe we can truly get to know each other. Maybe, we can walk through this sandstorm of pain; this pain that doesn’t threaten to bury me anymore.
Dearest Memories, tell me, can we make something beautiful out of us still? Will you help me?
Love, Maitreyi
