The Bubbling Brook of my Brain

Hmm…metacognition…learned that word in fifth grade. Crap! Pressed the backspace buttion! Why did you ban that Pens? ach! that needs a comma! I know why you banned it, you meant that people shouldn’t delete their thoughts. Which is so true, I mean, why would you want to delete part of you r life? That’s what thoughts are right? I read about this one drug that erases painful memories. I don’t think that’s a good idea. It’s sad that people have to live with trauma, true, but it’s even sadder – the idea that anyone could bring themselves to erase part of their life…their character. It’s like losing a day! or a week…a month…a year. WHy? Then my friend has his conspiracy theory, that the government might use the technology to erase essential memories to that person’s identity and use them as some sort of government drone. “HOw do you know they’re only eraseing oen memory? If it’s erased, then you wouldn’t!!”
