"Za-Za-Zoo"

"Za-Za-Zoo." I heard this term used to describe crazy and amazing love on a... ya know, very girly, usually made fun of television show of which I will not name because then I will be mocked. And now I'm sure everyone knows what I am talking about so that was pointless. Well anyways, it made me start to think of how it is usually very difficult to let go of your past. Even when it comes to the littlest things that you shouldn't really care about, you somehow create a life or death panic around the idea of losing it. For example, we all keep mementos from special occasions in our life such as, a playbill, a movie stub, a bouquet of roses (dried out of course), or anything that would remind us ten years later of that special occasion. But more specifically, if we are in a relationship, we will create boxes dedicated to that relationship. That way, when you are going through a rough patch with your partner, you can easily look through the items in that box and remember the "za-za-zoo" if you will. It is our memory of those great experiences that will put us at ease and give us perspective on a situation. So when the possibility of losing those memories comes around, how could you be content with throwing them away? I guess this concept is the reason why people place the relationship boxes in the way back of their closet... so that one day they can open the box again and remember the exciting and passionate feelings they once held for a certain person.

My current problem: I got a new phone and obviously not everything could be transferred over from my old phone... like saved text messages. There are messages on there from years ago that I just don't want to get rid of because I like to look back on them and smile and remember that feeling I had when I first received that text. It is really difficult to let go of those text messages because I like to remember that initial feeling. In a way I kind of hate that in today's technology-driven lifestyle, love letters are now sent via text message. You can't keep those "letters" forever. It breaks my heart to, in essence, lose beginning parts of my relationship just because I have a new phone. Wtf. Fml. I'm sad now.

I may just be crazy in my thinking and rambling (very likely), but it is still sad that I want to preserve my earlier "za-za-zoo" days for future reminders, and cannot do so.

Oh well. I'll figure it out. Ta-ta for now!
