All your life you force yourself to forget people who have hurt you, but as you get older and weaker their memory surfaces again, like a bubble in the water.

And maybe, unexpectedly, you find out that instead, of revamping your anger, those memories produce an unexpected sweetness.

Francesca Marciano
