happy memories, sad memories, memories
My friend was telling me about how he could not sleep the night before because he was thinking about sad stuffs.
So I told him, don’t think about sad stuffs before you sleep. I would sometimes think about the past if I could not sleep, like nice memories or boring memories like trying to recall what the lecturer was saying. And he replied ‘ I was thinking about sad stuffs in the past’
I dunno, to me, the past are just memories.
There are be happy memories and surely sad memories we have. But memories are just memories, things that happened in our memories have passed. Maybe that why when I recall a sad memory, I do not feel so sad anymore.
Memories sometime flood our minds when we are being pushed up to a wall. Suddenly we feel that we could not move on, and the only feasible way seems to be ‘ going back’- looking into our memories.‘
Regrets, have been, could have been, could have done this’ all these thoughts will be on our mind when we look into our sad memories.
‘I don’t want it to change; last forever; return to’ all this phases will pop out when we immersed ourselves in the happy memories of the past.
Digging our way back to the past seems so easy. The more we dig, the more happy memories we may find, or rather want to find. We are working so hard to barrow into the memories of the past. Once we dig till a comfortable depth where no one can interrupt our peace and quietness, we would rest in the nice deep hole of our past memories-delusion.
Barrowing deep within our memories would probably only move us further away from the wall that seems impossible to climb and bring us no where but down.
I am not saying that we should abandon all our memories, who can? But it is important to keep in mind that memories may be nice to recall, and 'reflavour(?) haha, it is important also impotant that we do not let our memories take control of us.
We should just leave those memories as it is. It is a thing of the past.
The very cliche stuff: Use the sad memories to motivate you to do better in the future, not use it was an excuse to shrink away from the future. Use the happy memories to provide some momentary relieve to the present. Let it show you that there will be more happy memories to come. :D
On a side note, boys over flowers is nice:D hahhahaha
