a double edged sword

it would be an understatement to say that my mind has been heavy laden of late. and today amid the myriad of thoughts that have floated in and out, came sentimentality.


i have always been a sentimental person. i tend to care deeply and quickly about people and things. ever since i was a child i would place value on various objects, days, or moments. and that is one thing that has remained the same, even as i have "grown up."

and so it has become my double-edged sword; being sentimental. my mundane life brightens when i think back to the year before, when on that specific day something extraordinary happened. but then comes the other side, the side where i can be having a perfectly lovely day, and of a sudden i remember something, or i see a certain spot or drive during a particular time of day, and my mind is flooded with memories that once were sweet and now have become, for the moment, a bit bitter.
