The Irony of Forgetting.

When you want to forget something, indulge yourself with it. Contradictory as it may seem, immerse yourself until exhaustion, until the feeling becomes ordinary and conventional, until you get used to it. Then eventually you'll not forget it, but instead will be able to control it. It's a process of learning to grasp and dominate your feelings, your emotion or whatever it is that you want to forget, before it usurps you and before it consumes you within.

Funny, this is how I'd be able to free myself from the prison that my love for you has brought me into .

The irony of forgetting? Constantly reminding yourself that you have already forgotten (i.e. "moved on," "let go") about that certain someone or thing or event you'd rather not actually forget.

Goodluck sa paper.

the terminal sentence was just an appendix specifying a kind of situation close to the ruminations above, but does not entirely delimited to that.

thing is whatever happens, like love lost or not, requited or not, it will remain in the memory. forgetting is not possible but is probable to the extent that the person affected is able to cope with the feeling by mechanism of control.
