I dug deep into my poetry collection for this one. Sometimes, I am thankful for inspiration despite the pain. You see, my focus is always on the art that flows out from me, what I produce, not necessarily the hurt or the pain. Other times, I think the inspiration has served its purpose, to heal me, and there is no need to keep the art anymore, no matter how great it is, since it is a past that I don’t even want to remember anymore. An unnecessary memory, you could say, which I know will be wiped away in time, because my brain will deem it redundant. Right now is not one of those moments. I am wistful and reflective as I read this again. I guess I am learning from my past self in this moment.
