Remembering the Wrong Thing

article image placeholderUploaded by @tjh
And there was this powerful scene last night, powerful scene, and someone was overcome with emotion in the present, and they could not figure out any answers. And they keep looking back, and they made some comment that they keep trying to figure out what had happened, and they're remembering this and remembering this, but their memory is not helping them find any answers. And so this person that they were talking to made the following statement

A powerful quote from the TV show, New Amsterdam

And then it shifts your sort of philosophy of how to approach remembering or storytelling to ourselves or any of these other things. But for me, it was a pivotal moment that I am so glad it happened to me. It wasn't in the moment, but now, looking back, it shifted thinking in so many ways and I wouldn't trade it for the world

@SeekingPlumb My doubts are gone!

But as the great philosophy once said, the true character of a person is revealed by the TV shows they watch. So if you watch New Amsterdam, then all of my doubts have been removed. All of my suspicions have vanished. If you watch New Amsterdam, there's something obviously good about you as a person. So now I trust you. You could probably be committing horrible crimes. But hey, you watch New Amsterdam. I will say no. Can't believe it

I cried through every episode at some point. But last night I felt like I cried more than not. But I keep coming back for more. And it's funny to me because there's another television show that I stopped watching because it made me cry every time. But I think maybe what sets New Amsterdam apart is that, yes, you're crying for a variety of reasons, sad, happy, et cetera, and everything in between. But there's also like this

Oh, my gosh, this is so timely because I did this and I've caught myself trying to do it today. But I'm like, MMM. Cancel. Cancel. Reset. We are thinking about something else and going to be productive with something else. But I have ruminated over the past, asked two, maybe three days of what could I possibly said or done or not have said or not have done to fill this energetic distance between someone I considered to be close to

Memory Games

And I'm like don't remember that, I don't remember that at all. There are other times when somebody will say or do something and I will be like this is a memory that I want to hang on to. I never want to forget what this person said right here. And I will tell myself, burn this into your memory. Do not forget this. This is important. This is a defining moment in this relationship
