in FOCUS \\ April '22 \\ FORGETTING

“There is nothing new except what has been forgotten.”

Marie Antoinette

---

Think about all the first experiences of youth. The simple ones. The ones that now, you don't even notice you are living. Like walking on a city street by yourself, not holding the hand of your parent, where every single silly thing around you is so great.

It is still with childlike joy that I discover something new. A new restaurant, perched on a cliff on Capri where I do not return often enough, a long-forgotten dress in the corner of my closet, a perfect hors d'oeuvre that could not be tastier nor prettier, the whiff of a scent gently slapping my nose,  a passer-by sharing my brisk walk of a city street.

Forgetting never travels without her cousin, novelty. To be able to enjoy the excitement of novelty powerfully and unapologetically, you must have a healthy amount of forgetting that you allow yourself to experience.
