“Maybe this is all destiny. Maybe you and I were meant for each other.” “Meant by whom?” “Fate?” “Maybe fate is what we call the lives we make for ourselves when we’re trying to make sense out of what we did,” he said.

Things we adore—things we think we will never forget—become so much a part of us that we become unconscious of them, like we become unconscious of breathing. After unconsciousness, oblivion. Those things are lost to us. We don’t have any choice in the matter. The things we would rather forget haunt us, and the things we want to keep forever are gone.

In his dialogue with Meno, Socrates lays out his theory of recollections. He argues that we are born knowing everything and only have to remember it. This is because the soul is immortal. It has always existed in the realm of truth before it is reincarnated into our mortal bodies. But how can we learn to remember all the things our soul knows? Socrates says the soul’s memories are stirred up like dreams. Like dreams, however, they mostly vanish in the light of day. Like dreams, they are fleeting.

I wanted to say, No, no, everything is not okay. Because I can’t stop thinking about that boy. He’s been inside my head for two whole days now, and visions of him won’t let me alone. And my hands are shaky and my heart is beating ninety miles an hour just because I heard his goddamn voice. No, everything is definitely not okay.
