Forget About It

I used to have a psychiatrist who gave very good advice. His favorite line was "forget about it."

This is actually a very useful line. I believe that mentally healthy people are very good a forgetting things. Milan Kundera must have felt this too because he wrote on laughter and forgetting, which I haven't read, but should. It's got to be about the healing power of forgettting. And laughter.

So my goal is to forget some portions of my life.

I asked my husband if it bothers him if he doesn't understand everything. He said, "no."

That's another thing healthy people have. They can let a problem go. So they don't understand something? So what?

It's very similar to forgetting.

Letting go.
