History that's un-revisited is just a collection of old memories. Which is why I like to go down memory lane, to remind myself of the past so that things don't get forgotten or distorted. This is obviously good and bad because some things should be just buried and swept under the rug.
But there are other times when I start getting all fuzzy headed. I'm a person who needs to have the picture painted clearly, the words spoken plainly, a spade called a spade (even if I've to talk to myself) for my direction in life to not waver. And if I have to keep writing the same things again and again, just to get it out of my system again, I will.
So whenever I am washed with the old feelings, I just scribble it out and throw it out. Writing is catharsis.
