Memories

What does memories mean to you? To me it means so much, its a part of who you are its something you can't change or take away even when sometimes you may not want those memories there. Memories are what you can hold onto forever. No matter where you go or where you end up you still hold those memories from your past, the good with the bad. Even though people come in and out of our lives for reasons we can't explain I wish we we knew why or what were supposed to learn.

Being a person that has moved and changed career pathways along the years, it makes me think of the memories I had with those jobs and friends. But then it makes me think, why is it so hard to stay in touch with people when you move? Is it really that hard? Are our daily lives really that busy that we can't call, text or email just to see how your friends are doing? Or do we just schedule too many things that were overloaded which makes us not able to keep in touch with the ones we love and care about.

It still brings me back to the word memories, why are memories so memorable? The memory could be the worst memory but its one that you won't forget but why can't we forget the bad ones and just keep the good ones. I think the reason why we remember the bad memories is to learn from our past experiences even though it hurts sometimes. But why do we have to feel that pain and hurt? Why can't it just go away when we move on?

Can you remember your first memory? Everything I do or think about takes me back to an old memory. For instances here some of memories that I've thought of: the smell when the seasons change, the smell of your favorite home cooked meal, the touch of that special someone, or the 1st time you had ice cream or a candy bar, your big moment graduating from college, or grieving over a close family member or friend, or your 1st time driving, my first time becoming an aunt, or my first time in the ocean, or my first time I shot my 1st buck with a bow or that feeling you feel when you eat too much candy. There are so many memories we have which at times makes us feel happy, sad, alone, with many more emotions.

Looking in the past we all have memories good and bad. I know our memories are to help us get through the messy stuff called life and make us stronger. But at the same time its hard to look back and see how everything has changed when everything used to be normal but now its not. We all have memories for us to share, for each of us to grow from our past experiences and memories.

To my followers, please share your memories that your willing to share may it be good or bad, I hope we can help each other grow from our past or present memories.
