Remembering New York

Memories, like relationships, are fragmented. They can be vivid and dull. Sometimes they drift away and we hardly notice until we are left only with their remains. When we want to forget who we were, we can’t. When we want to remember everything, we can’t. Memories surround us. People surround us. Our memories of people create us as we are until we ourselves, one day, become our own memory.
