MEMORIES - WHAT DO THEY MEAN TO YOU?
Ive been doing a lot of thinking about the past,present and future but not sure about how to word this topic exactly, well its something we all possess from birth,something remarkable given to us.
Apparently when we reach adulthood, its fundamental but at the same time we wish that there were parts we could erase totally? So true that as we age little parts get erased this is all about memory
A memory can be part of every single little detail of your life ,it shapes who you are as a person and its YOU
How does Memory work do you ask?
Well from when you are tiny your body interacts as you start visually seeing things and will continually change by the experiences you have. Whats stored inside your head is far more than facts or details but it is things that make up your life....
Ive just watched a little clip about memories and they rekon that adults cannot remember anything typically anything before the age of 5, which in sense I would believe is true as you are so young how can you remember things, yes maybe as a young child you will remember things as they pass by day by day but as you get older you start slowly forgetting things as a child and your mind tends to wonder on other things such as the future.
I have several memories, there are many that I would LOVE to just erase totally and forgett about especially the ones where I hated going to school for certain reasons as bullying, I still to this day hated the fact that I was picked on by the boys who believed they were more better,more good looking, knew more and so much more... I bet this must be a part of growing up
but there are also the very sad memories that are contained within me which I keep bottled and very close to my heart,these are things such as close family members who are not with us no more, who I believe were so special that my memory is holding onto what it can and it keeps me close to those people
why is it so hard though? when you are asked about when you were younger that you cant remember that much? does it mean you had a bad experience in certain parts of your life or does it simply mean that you just cannot remember them? well who knows....

I have included this exact picture as it capture so much that I believe to be true - a memory is something that you make, something you want to keep close to you and never let it go perhaps it a person you love,perhaps its a experience you never want to forget?
Just remember memories are there to be made,there to be broken and there to sometimes be forgotten
I also believe to me the best way to try keep a memory close is to have captured the exact moment in a photo,a video or just in a journal perhaps...I do hope some day that people will read my blogs and find something in here to love and some useful information,advice or just something my boys can maybe look back onto some day hence why I say its all about my stories and what just come naturally to me
I wont bore you with photos of me or my life as these are personal but rather just something to help you capture your memories maybe?
Some of my useful tips to keep your memories safe and going:
Personal photographs - these keep the person,surrounding,experiences alive
Journals - write what you do either daily,weekly,monthly or when you want to keep them
scrap books - this is my ultimate favorite way to just put photos in a fun,experiential method
Just try enjoy each day as it comes to you
Sometimes I do wish there was a thing as a time machine, but then I know we all would just overuse it to erase the bad days and that wont be fair for the people who genuinely want to keep the special times to hand
this blog purely came to me as I was listening to lovely calming music and watching my son sleep...hes growing so fast now and this year he will be turning 5 and to me it feels that time is going by so fast and I do wish I can stop some memories as holding him for the very first time,him walking,talking,eating and even saying mummy and when we realised well he was going to be a big brother too...the day he first met his little brother,the day he kissed his head,cuddled and held him and just how watching both of them at time can be a great pleasure but others a real nightmare - but I again feel this is what keeps us all going, these memories and someone once told me we all need to have a great reason WHY.... I can tell you there are to many to list on this little blog
Well everyone, this is a lasting fact is memories are made to last
so make sure you make yours special, treat everyone you love as its your last day on earth as you never know what memory they may hold of you some day!!!!
thank you all and I do hope someone out there is appreciating my stories and will either comment or just keep coming back for more
until then Make special memories count
