Live. Or create art. Pick one.

You can either have an experience or write about it. You can't do both. Deciding to write (this goes for art, too), thinking about what you're going to write, the physical act of writing, these things all changes the experience you're having.. into one you're recording. For posterity. And it's just not the same as if you'd thrwn your whole attention into the experience, instead of writing it down.

It's like Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

So- that means you have to either remember well, or choose.
