"Writers are forgetful but they remember everything. They forget appointments and anniversaries, but remember what you wore, how you smelled, on your first date. They remember every story you've ever told them, but forget what you just said. They don't remember to water the plant or take out the trash, but they don't forget how to make you laugh. Writers are forgetful because they are busy remembering the important things."

I saw this and it made me smile. Because it reminds me of so many people I know. It reminds me of all the passionate busy-bodied people in my life because the same words can be said about more than just writers. It can be said of anyone with a fire in them. And so it made me smile.
