I can feel myself clawing to hold on to every detail--
every word spoken; every face.
but it's impossible. and it's leaving
this raw, hopeless feeling in my gut.
and i find myself dreading the day i leave
behind all of these incredible people.
i don't want to.
i don't want to forget one single thing,
yet i'm already struggling to remember
that one joke that one guy told that one
day oh-so-long-ago.
not only that, but i know that
i, too, will be forgotten.
and if everybody forgets,
who's left to remember?

that's the saddest thing i've ever read. i almost cried.
don't worry. nobody will remember me, either. :(
i dont know if this will make you feel better, but i know EXACTLY what you mean. i feel sometimes that even my ohio friends would forget about me several years down the line. and it was so so hard to leave dc, thinking that i hadn't left behind anything or given anyone anything, and having re-met so many people that didnt remember me at all. im scared to have anything to do with people all the time because i think i'll just slip through the cracks and make no difference.
but i think that, at least in your case, its an illusion. you are absolutely unforgettable. and im not just saying that to make you feel better, im saying it because its true. sooo many people love you.
i dreamed last night that i got a letter from you and it was sooooo thick. there was like, more ribbons, and funky paper, and a packet of hot chocolate, and a five page letter...and the front of the envelope was covered in drawings of robots and dogs. and i was like 'THIS IS AWESOME.'
i love youu rachel >< come home.
oh my god harmony! I had a dream about getting two letters from rachel. only the envelopes had the exact same thing in them...so I got two of the same things. they were paper books. only i was confused by it... lol. weird.
but yea rachel. like I said before, people will think of the difference you made by helping build their house. and your rosey cheeks. :)
and i'm always afraid that i won't be remembered for anything good. everyone feels this way sometimes.
ps. i got your letter. i'm rushing to write one to you. :)
