Our memory distorts the true nature of our past relationships. An old flame from many, many years ago recently contacted me and told me she thought her life would have been much better if we had stayed together. Though I was flattered, and though we did have some very good memories, I realized that she was conveniently forgetting the bad times and what caused us to eventually break up. As the song says, "Mem'ries, may be beautiful and yet
What’s too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were"
