There are some things I would like to forget. Things I've seen that I would like to unsee, things I've heard that I would like to unhear, even things I've smelled that... you know. It's not that ignorance is bliss, just that I have taken some wrong turns in my life, roads that led me to places I would not have chosen to go if I knew what was there. And sometimes, I just did not know any better, and I found some dark things by way of more or less an innocent curiosity. My mind holds on to these disturbing subjects often because they are so unnerving, items I cannot teach it to let go. The best I can do with them is to let them remind me that out there in the world, horrors exist, sometimes just around the corner from where you walk every day. And perhaps, we need to be reminded of it: watch where you step: some places you do not want to go.
