eating soap

i have noticed over the years that people tend to forget much of beginning and middle of events and recall their end in much more detail than any other part. this is partly due to temporal concerns, of course, but even with short duration events the last thing one sees/feels seems to be etched more clearly in memory. that is why it is important to make a good last impression. while “firsts” are the things that make life worth living, “lasts” are the things that make life bearable in between. i devote a good deal of thought to last impressions. i like to leave others with a good taste in their mouth. dry, nutty, and just the slightest hint of fruit.
