"I may regret this post if it eventually turns out I am actually losing my mind, but right now, I&amp;#x27;m feeling a little forgetful&amp;amp;#8212;and I like it. I did not take such drastic measures as this. Well, not that I remember anyway... Remember when I told you guys I was just a little bit nervous about moving back to New York because I felt like the entire city would be haunted with the ghosts of my relationship past? Well, it&amp;#x27;s been only a week, but so far so good: I have so many exciting new things going on and so many old friends to see again, I haven&amp;#x27;t really had time to mull over the past. And maybe I couldn&amp;#x27;t even get all nostalgic if I tried. A few days ago, I was wandering around (listening to Beyonc&amp;amp;eacute; and strutting like I was in a movie, natch) when I found myself on a block where my ex-boyfriend lived for about a year a few years ago. Since I was in a cheery mood, I felt like it would be OK to stroll past, so I stayed on my path. And when I got to what used to be his front door, I looked up with a lump in my throat and thought...Wait a minute, is this even where he lived?!? I could not pick out his building for the life of me. It was definitely one of three entryways I passed, but none looked familiar enough for me to be sure, and I went to that apartment probably twice a week for a year. What is happening in my brain? It could be that I&amp;#x27;m just a little overwhelmed and therefore even flightier than usual. Ask my friend I just forgot to meet for our lunch plans the other day&amp;amp;mdash;I&amp;#x27;m sorry, I&amp;#x27;m the worst! But if it does turn out my brain is starting to have a selective memory for my former relationship, it&amp;#x27;s the single most encouraging sign that I&amp;#x27;m ready to move on. Has selective amnesia ever happened to you when it comes to an ex-boyfriend? Do you feel encouraged when memories of your old relationship start to fade?
