You forget it all anyway. First, you forget everything you learned- the dates of the Hay - Herran Treaty and the Pythagorean theorem. You especially forget everything you didn't really learn, but just memorized the night before. You forget the names of all but one or two of your teachers, and eventualy you'll forget those, too. You forget your junior year class schedule and where you used top sit and your best friends home phone number and the lyrics to that song you must have played a million times And eventually, but slowly, oh so slowly, you forget you humiliations- even the ones that seemed indelible just fade away. You forget who was cool and who was not, who was pretty, smart, athletic, and not. Who went to a good collage. Who threw the best parties. Who could get you pot. You forget all of them. Even the ones you said you loved, and even the ones you actually did. They're the last to go. And then once you've forgotten enough, you love someone else."- Memoirs of a teenage amnesiac. - ↗
