About This Quote

What is written is merely the dregs of experience. This phrase emphasizes that our experiences and memories are but a small fraction of our entire life. They do not represent the totality of who we are and what we have experienced. We cannot ever know all of the things that happen to us as we live our lives.

We make mistakes and learn from those mistakes, but we can never fully understand what has happened to us. There will always be something missing from the story. It is an idea that will make you feel better if you find yourself feeling down.
