2 TRUTHS AND A LIE
Preferred Alias: Mandy

1. I went to nearly all the major cities in Europe, the United States, and Asia within a three year period.
2. I once had to climb out a window to avoid being forcefully committed after I was caught in flagrante delicto with another woman.
3. I've been married three times. You know what they say about the definition of insanity

One Of These Is A Lie

I see. I can understand that. It might be better that you cannot remember everything.

[ He does value forgetting highly even though he is incapable of it. ]

Your family disowned you?

[smileslie]

Oh, certainly some of it. Of course the things I'd rather forget seem quite etched in my memory which seems hardly fair.

I might be exaggerating a little bit. We don't speak, and haven't in some time, which is as much on me as them to a degree. I was something of a black sheep, and after a time I stopped bothering trying to gain their acceptance. It could have been much worse.

[deathstouch]

That is how most people's memories do work. Sometimes it is better not to remember all the good things.

I see. I suppose that it has virtually the same end result for you.

[smileslie]

I suppose that's true. It does help keep me from seeing too much of it through rose tinted glasses. I think if I remembered too much I might actually let myself fall in love with my ex again.

[she says, like a part of her isn't and won't always be. Denial is fabulous]

Indeed it has. Really, if I'd wanted to be a part of their lives still, I could very well have. It just would have meant pretending to be a great deal of things I wasn't. Like, for starters, heterosexual. And that would have been dreadfully boring, as well as probably driving me over the edge sooner rather than later.

[deathstouch]

It's an exhausting thing, too, to carry the weight of memories.

I see. That would have certainly not made it worth it, then.

My family died centuries ago.

[ More like, he accidentally killed them. ]
