Your memory will be wiped in ten minutes. What do you want to remember?

My teacher posed the following assignment in class: Your memory is going to be wiped in ten minutes. You have that amount of time to write down anything you want to remember afterwards. This was my response: A letter to myself.

You love purely and completely. The people in your life are beautiful and you appreciate that beauty. You are mesmerized by the awe of nature and you travel without a plan in order to experience that awe. You express what you take in through the process of writing and you want to spread that intake across the planet.

Coffee, music, wine, and boardgames are the keys to happiness on the weekend; and if you find someone to share that with- you are golden.

Your mantra is passion and your gravity pulls to the moon. You drive for hours without destination and find yourself with a friend on the coast watching the stars. You are a mother to the world and all it holds. You breathe the energies of others- take caution to the air around you. You take each day for what it can offer. You reflect fondly on your memories and tend to find yourself lost. You are falling in love.

If you ever feel uncomfortable in your own body, go swimming- you are more natural in the water than on land. And if the music moves you, you dance- alone or with others, you always dance.

Your family consists of the people you love around you and nothing could keep you from finding them. Try not to worry. Your angels are red, black, purple, and brown- and those hands will bring you home.
