fourteen.

Heaven is here...and tonight, we are the only ones who feel it.

"...failure to comprehend is in part due to the fact that the human mind is loath to search deeply into anything it desires not to believe."

Incomprehension of many things is, in fact, due to that very fact: that the human mind itself is unwilling to submerse itself into something (anything) it doesn't want to find the answer to. The subconscious, though we may not recognize it as such, is just as much a living, breathing part of our brain as the conscious. It is not simply a place where "forgotten" memories go to be stored, but it is, in actuality, a part of our everyday thought process.

Now pose the question: is it easier to forgive or forget?

Though forgiveness requires a conscious effort of conscience and will, truly forgetting something is nearly impossible to achieve. Remember that night where you laid in your bed, wondering what your purpose here was? Try harder. Maybe there was a song playing...how about now? Still no? It was the one night where you weren't sure which way was up. The one time where you felt absolutely hopeless. The one time where you wished, more than anything, that clarity would present itself with a flashing neon sign, pointing the way to understanding.

I knew you'd remember.
