Memories

Photographs.. Cards.. Gifts.. Collage.. Journals 

All these are merely not ways to express your feelings... These aren't just to let the person know how you feel.. Gifting a dress, toy, gadget etc. merely are not part of expressing. 

We often link birthdays, anniversaries and other occasions with things. Tangible things. All with the intention of making someone feel special. To let the other person know that they mean something to you. That you're one of the best thing that happened to them. To show your care and concern. 

But all this is not only means of expressing your feelings or the way you feel. All these special moments, the gifts, the ways et al, pile up and make memories.

Memories...

According to Oxford dictionary a memory is a faculty by which the mind stores and remembers information. 

But are memories only stored in your mind?? are they only for remembering??

For some  maybe yes ... As for me NO...

Maybe technically the mind stores your memories but then the heart feels them too.. It's not only about remembering them.. It's about time travel.. 

Remember the first Barbie or Gigo that you received.. How happy you were.. 

Feel the happiness that made your smile stretch from ear to ear when you got your first 10/10..

Those moments when you got food after a very long day..

The days when you ate in between the lectures..

Memories maybe good or maybe bad.. What memory you recall depends on how you're feeling at a particular point of time..

Some say that if you're sad or angry you should think about the happy moments of your life. It makes you see the brighter side of life and make you positive. End result, you come out of the blues. But the other set speaks differently. According to them, thinking about your old good memories only makes you realize what you're missing and makes you more sad..

Memories are just a fragment of life that have been stored in your brain but felt by your heart. No matter how hard you try.. These will creep up from time to time and make you cry with sad or laughter...

Which memory crept up in your mind?? I'd be most happy if you share yours.
