Mine doesn’t do that…I forget bad things.

…was talking to a buddy I hadn’t seen in 20 years the other night, and it underscored it…he brought up several things that happened to me back when we hung out that were negative and sometimes downright awful. I was like: “Remember that one cat tho?”

Happened last year with another old friend. I think I would be a really angry person if I remembered all the bad shit that has happened…but it’s just not there.
