‘We’ve been doing it ever since I can remember’ goes hand in hand with ‘this is the way it is’. Those two ideas are locked together. Why do we do it like this? Because I can’t remember doing it any other way.
But the problem is that we’re all too old to institute a new ‘ever since I can remember’. We can’t turn back the clock to when we were kids and change the life long ‘way it is’.
So our only choice is to make institute new ways for things to be…so that years from now we can say, ‘we’ve been doing this ever since we decided to.’
It’s not as romantic as ever since I can remember, but it will go a long way in changing the way it is.
