Some times it hurts to look back

I have been re-watching seasons 3 and 4 of Sex and the City. I'm watching these episodes to refresh my memory about the various stories as the Sex and the City movie follows on from what previously happened in the television series.

I have forgotten many of the stories. I have even forgotten how much it focused on love and heartbreak. At times it wasn't very pleasant watching those stories unfold as it only reminded me about my own relationships. It has also spurred me to go through some of the things I've kept; "relics" from my relationships. It was a bad idea. I should not have been tempted to look back.

It is never easy to let go. As I re-read old letters, I am brought back to the times when the sweetness of love overpowered reason. I doubt I will ever forget those moments. Perhaps one day soon, but right now I will just have to work through the pain of rehashing these memories.
