Forgetful

Lately,I haven't been recognizing some of my old friends or people I have met during art exhibitions or simply in the public in general. Some of them I have not seen in a year or so. It takes awhile to process my memory in order to remember them. I do feel bad when people walk up to me to say "Hello" and I can't remember who they are or where I had met them. I have been making a lot of friends and socializing with people quite a bit. At times, it's overwhelming, but I always look forward to making conversation. I just don't remember everyone that I have met. I'm sure as my art career grows I will continue to meet a lot more people as well as making more friends on top of that.

Living in Fargo has been a sanctuary for me. But, there are times that my "old life" collides with my current life. By that I mean I will run into my old drinking buddies, from the Rez or Minneapolis, and quite frankly I purposely don't remember and or acknowledge them. I'd rather keep my relatives and my friends closer then my former alcoholic friends.

I am consumed in my art that I may be up almost 24 hours straight. So of course I am not cognisant of the day of the week.

I hope people won't be offended and will understand if I can't remember them. You have all touched my life in one way or another. I thank you for that.
