7. Elvis Depressedly - “Weird Honey”

Life is full of little sticky sweet moments. Rare instances that no matter how mundane for some reason or another seem to stay stuck within your mind. Such memories compose the weird honey of existence. They’re impossible to remember unprovoked, because they’re often so inconsequential that they can never be intentionally discovered. They have to be stumbled upon by accident. However, once found you can’t help but feel the warmth of their existence radiate your soul. Even the hard memories get softened within the distance of time. They become blurred, blending together to form the amorphous past of someone different – someone less developed and less complete than the current version of yourself, and therefore, somehow removed from who you once were.

It’s the reality of a linear existence, and it’s this reality that gives birth to the brilliant and memorable line of “if there’s a cold spot in hell, i hope you get it”. The pain of the memory still exists, but so does the love, and the farther away the memory drifts into the past, the more the two of the emotions blend and intersect into one. They’ve become inseparable, and rather than focusing on one or the other, he can now let the two of them mix into one pool of meaning and recognize the path of erosion that has formed and led him to where he is today.

Everything was necessary and needed – no matter how absurd or pointless it may have seemed within the moment.Time may be linear, but our memories of it are fluid. They can evolve and change, gaining and losing meaning as we ourselves grow and develop.
