ok, whoa whoa...
it's weird, ya no, how some people and some things can be SO important during certain times in ur life and then once that period is over it's like those people or things are just all of a sudden not so drastically important anymore...and it's not like they don't matter, or you forget why they were so important it's just...all of a sudden they're non-essentials..and u can't figure out why, why so suddenly it doesn't matter as much, or why in such a small period or time ur priorities somersault....
but u know what's worse...is when it's u that doesn't matter any more..is when someone so important to you has phased you out and you don't even realize it...until suddenly u do, and it's clear that u've faded into their background, and now u have to fade them as well..and sometimes you don't want to let them go..but once they don't need you, u don't have much of a choice..
and sometimes it's an event or an activity and so it's not as emotional..but u still miss it, and u often think, wow maybe i should revisit that, but u know in ur heart and mind that it just wouldn't be the same...that thing or person has served it's purpose in ur past and now it's meant to be a memory, and u can (and sometimes you need to) force urself to put that in ur past, force urself not to do that thing or talk with that person because they aren't necessary anymore, and at times it's better to let something go while it's relatively intact, than to hold onto it so tightly that it crumbles and u really have nothing left...
i'd like to preserve my past if taht's alright with you...i'd like to preserve it the way u preserve things in a museum, you leave them be. you let them be as they are, frozen forever in time...and that's how my past should stay...u don't go through a museum and pick up the things and play with them do you? (even if u want to..u don't) so that's my point...sometimes what's best isn't always whats the most enjoyable, but u know it's for the best...
so here's to my past...cuz it was great, and as it gets larger adn larger i know taht my museum of memories will be visited often, but also, well preserved!

I've been on both sides of the removing importance scale. I hate not meaning anything to a person and I try to fight it but it tends to be totally worthless.
My problem with leaving things in the past is I don't visit them often enough and I forget them like they never happened. When I wrote my college application essay I wrote about a time I had totally fogotten, about things that were my life and I didn't even know about them anymore . . . that was tough. A couple of times I just sat there reminescing to myself. It made me sad that i forgot about them but happy cause i revisited them. Wierd how that works.
