Five Minutes

(B. Schatz)

Five mibutes ago, the world was a different place.

I say this, because five minutes ago, I wasn’t writing this. I wasn’t even thinking about it even. Instead, I was watching this movie: it was about a guy who decided to erase his ex-girlfriend from his memory.

And I, was thinking about my ex-girlfriend.

Five minutes ago, the world was about the girls who break our hearts. And right now, it isn’t.

Right now, it’s about writing: communicating ideas through words and expressions, and creating entire worlds with the subtle stroke of a finger. It’s about blank pages turning into castles, it’s about separate letters combining to create people and places and emotions, and it’s about every single possibility just waiting to be explored.

It’s about forgetting those girls who break our hearts.

And the only thing that has changed is those five short minutes.

The world changes that fast, and it’s sad, really, to think that as the seconds tick by… that the one that is here right now, will disappear forever into the unforgiving mists of time.

However… I was never a big fan of forgetting the little moments that we could one attempt to treasure through the fogged up looking glass of memory. So I decided to create this site.

Two Fisted Toast, as it exists in this world, in this moment, is a site dedicated to preserving moments and thoughts and stories and moments. It’s here to serve as a history book for all the little moment worlds that come our way.

It’s here to remember the girls who break our hearts.

And it’s here to show us that there’s always the possibility for the world to change.

Just give it five minutes.
