It's so easy.
Press me.
Just one bit of pressure, and the past, the words, the memories, are all deleted.
Even if it's only temporary.
Why doesn't life have a backspace button?
Why can't I erase those terrible moments from my mind, why must they come up at moments when they will affect me in the worst possible way?
Can't I erase them?
Just one?
ERASING isn't the act of cowardice towards what you've done in the past.
Really, it isn't.
ERASING is about strength.
Knowing you have to forgive before you can forget.
Using all your willpower to wipe the slate clean, make yourself new.
ERASING can be powerful.
But sometimes, I find, it's easier to erase other people
Rather than myself.
