If you could make the choice to lose one memory, what would it be?

If you don't feel like sharing the details of that moment, answer this instead- if you were really given the choice, not hypothetically in the future, but today, with all the realities and consequences you face, would you let the moment go? And would it change you?

How much of our darkest moments make us what we are?

[Thoughtful noise. Okay, now he gets it.]

Livin' without something that used to be important to you -- memories, people, whatever it might be... that's not easy. It'll change ya.

But you'll get by without 'em. Life means changin', adaptin' to what comes. Even if you might not've chosen ta lose them, the loss doesn't make ya somebody else. It just means you'll need to find a way ta compensate for what's gone. New connections, new memories... they'll come if ya let 'em.

Guess you could give up an' die if you'd rather. Seems like a waste to me.

Thing is, there's no middle ground. If you keep goin' - keep livin' with each moment as it passes - you'll find out how ta enjoy life with what you've got now. Try an' cling to somethin' you can't get back, and the loss'll destroy ya.

So, how about you tell me, then? Don't mind hearin' it from the horse's mouth.

Sometimes, you forget for a reason.

This is the second time I've had to fight to remember. The first time, no, I didn't like what I found.

So you're tryin' to figure out if it's worth making the effort this time.

Or if I should outright avoid it, yes.

That's a call nobody else can make for ya. Sometimes it might be better ta move forward... just depends on how much you value who you were.

I suppose I'll just have to keep weighing.

Never a dull moment, that's for sure.

Has someone warned you to prepare yourself for the winter?

Not in so many words, but it snowed on me on day three. I figured that's a sign ta be careful of the weather.

Yes. You'll still have to scavenge for food- and on some days, you'll be snowed in.

Hmm. I'll remember ta lay in some extra food.

Fuel for fires is also important to stock up on. Blankets, outdoor clothing.
