Sometimes it's pretty clear who is the object of your affections, because you think about her every day or something like that. But objects also play hide-and-seek. Like, you break up with someone, and it's kind of okay, and you're like "I guess it wasn't so important to possess that object." And then you find out she's getting married and you're all crying or whatever and you're like "I guess I was secretly possessing that object all this time in a weird future-burrow of my mind, and I didn't even know it, and I guess it was kind of important." You know?
A related situation that amuses me a little: on those rare occasions when I find myself in serious situations, I often leave those situations and promptly begin to think of something else entirely. But then I think: "Wait! That was serious!" and I try to think about it but it doesn't work. And then I wonder whether perhaps I am "missing" or even God forbid "avoiding" a Major Event in my life. But then I think it's hard to tell which things are Major.
All things considered, it's very hard to tell.

How much do you think the Major things you seek are the very ones that will inevitably be remembered in many years? "it seems we've lost what we loved in that mess of details that seemed so important at the time now we can't even recall any names faces or lines just the feeling of it all"
