Memories

The human brain is a fascinating thing. It amazes me how the brain can store maybe not all, but the majority of your experiences. I think that if we did not have memories, we would be missing a crucial part of life. Reminiscing on all the good is probably one of the few things that make me truly happy. There’s nothing like looking at all the old pictures with friends and family and seeing how much you have grown as a person.

The funny thing about our memories is that even though we may try to remember everything that occurs in our lives, we can’t. And not only that, we seem to remember the bad times in life more than the good. For example, if I try to think of a day where I was happy, I can’t really remember the details other than the people I was with. However, when I try to remember a bad memory in my life, it’s easy. I remember almost every line that each person said to me, where, and when it was. I’ve shared with you before, but the perfect example would be when my mom past away. Another example would be when my dog died. But anyways you get the point.

I think there is a reason why us humans may not be able to remember everything in life. Its because memories are meant to be shared and held together with people. Its almost impossible to remember everything by yourself, but when your with your friends and you talk about the good times, then you can use everyone’s pieces of memories to put them all together. And after that you and all your friends can experience the memory as w hole. Also I think that even though we may remember the sad, we should not look at sad memories as setbacks, but use them as ways to bring you happiness and motivation. Because then you can look at the bad times and see how much you have grown.

P.S. I hate Blacksburg weather, How in the world does it go from like 60 degrees, sunny, and warm, to like 40 degrees, rainy, and cold.
