Joan Didion Quote
I think we are well advised to keep on nodding terms withthe people we used to be, whether we find them attractivecompany or not. Otherwise they turn up unannounced andsurprise us, come hammering on the mind's door at 4 a.m.of a bad night and demand to know who deserted them, whobetrayed them, who is going to make amends. We forget alltoo soon the things we thought we could never forget. Weforget the loves and the betrayals alike, forget what we whisperedand what we screamed, forget who we were. I havealready lost touch with a couple of people I used to be.
