Chapter 20: Memories Memories
ОглавлениеWe have memories stored in our minds from when we were younger right through to when we are adults. Some people have bad memories and cannot remember every single memory but others can remember everything. Memories get brought up every now and then when people around us talk about things that happened that we know about. Other times when we browse through our photo albums you'd remember a memory from a particular event from our lives we can visualize it in our minds. And can close our eyes and see images from that day memories can be totally forgotten by memory loss that happens to some people and others choose to force to forget somethings. For some people some memories can be of sad times or of a bad experience so they choose to not talk about it. Memories are in our mind and are useful when we need to talk or write and remember something to help us in our current daily lives. When you think of memories you can even remember the exact things you wore or what was said or who was there or the exact date and time and place. Memories are usually moments which we cherish and love to think about special days such as birthdays, Easter, Christmas, weddings etc. the days we celebrated for various things memories can be kept in albums or scrapbooks containing special gifts and things to remember which we find to be of sentimental value. Postcards, birthday cards, photos etc. and other items we keep over the years looking back at them seeing our achievements and success we managed to get through our hard work and dedication.
It can be rather difficult for some others to remember memories because they might have experienced something really sad or bad which they want to forget forever. However sometimes in life it gets remembered or someone talks about which triggers that memory which often can make them remember the hurt and pain they experienced. Memories can be a time of sadness also because that's life the reality sad and bad things do happen to people. Memories can be short or can be long depending on the person and all what they remember or forget. For other people they might get amnesia and not remember anything from their lives or get dementia and just forget every memory. Then people have to keep reminding them about that particular memory from their life so memories can be pleasant and hard to live with.
Memories are moments we relive every time we miss something from our past we want to remind ourselves of because it was such a wonderful memory. We can think back to a day and time we were maybe the happiest in our life a time that we can relive over and over again. Its so special and we hold it close in our hearts we often think about it now and again and it comes up in conversations.
