The scratched-scribbled days on pages illustrate the difference between plans, hopes, and the best of intentions. With this, I learn that the past can be changed, that memories can be created. Orders or suggestions for a full, fulfilling life form lists on the numbered days: go swimming, get a haircut, read 100 Years of Solitude (I don’t know the plot, or who is who), forget about him (I must keep reminding myself), forget about him. I can rub you out and tell myself I never did love you, anyway. With this, I learn that the past can be created.
