On Forgetting

During my recent visit to the US, I was gone for 2.5 weeks and I became oddly panicked that I had forgotten my Spanish. I have lived in Peru for nearly 5 years.

It’s an odd thing, this human mind.

The good news is that we don’t have to believe all our thoughts.

Durante mi reciente visita a los EE.UU., estuve fuera durante 2,5 semanas y me entró un extraño pánico por haber olvidado mi español. He vivido en Perú durante casi 5 años.

Es una cosa extraña, esta mente humana.

La buena noticia es que no tenemos que creer todos nuestros pensamientos.
