An Eye-Opening Open Letter to my Exasperating Memory


Each night, as I succumb to slumber, I dive into an endless abyss of thoughts, my mind. I watch words forming, pairing and getting know each other. I see it as a masterpiece. I then decide to post in it this blog. But the next morning, I forget about three fourths of what it was.

Why do you have to be so unreliable?

As I march through the notes perfectly in playing instruments, halfway through the piece, I forget the notes.

Why must you be so annoying?

Exams. I studied hard for this day, cramming every last bit of information and reviewing the notes. But when exams are actually knocking on my door, those notes, those information, those spent hours, I forget.

Why are you so frustrating?

I remind myself in every way for that homework or project due for tomorrow. But still, I forget.

Why do you have to be mean?

Those annoying shameful awkward moments, frequently popping into my mind when I don’t need them. I don’t forget.

Why are you malevolent?

Nightmares. Have the ability to kill you. I want it out. But you don’t allow it.

Why do you enjoy this?

Why?

What did I ever do to you?

Why are you so rude?

But still, thank you. You let me feel that I’m still human, that I’m not a flash drive. You might have these atrocities but I can still use you for reminiscence. Thank you.
