Memories....

Its 2 AM and I am pretty sure I am the only one up in my house, I went to sleep, but I couldn't, so I thought maybe I'd write this post that I have been meaning to write.

There he was, happily climbing up the stairs, thinking of the latest good events in his life, when it suddenly hit his ears. A certain song, coming from a television set from one of the apartments, and it was if the whole world suddenly shattered, memories came rushing in as if a dam broke. In essence they were not unhappy memories, but time and circumstances, had made them so.

Aren't memories a strange thing? In life we go through so much, so many adventures, so many happiness, so much grief....so many memories. We remember so much, yet we forget so much. They say that time heals all wounds, but does it truly?...do we really forget? Many a times do we find memories we had thought long buried, memories that we judged to no longer matter rush back into our minds, filling us with momentary happiness, or grief.

People say, always remember the good, think of the happy times, not the sad, the good that happens, not the bad. But that's the thing about memories, they aren't really happy or sad, they are just memories. The ones that once let you sleep peacefully at night, may soon become the ones that keep you up. The happy times that you spend with that someone special, may become memories of sadness and regret. All those speeches of love and sacrifice may turn into what keeps you up at nights, and at times darken your heart. The memories of once endured hardships and embarrassments may today make you laugh and feel happiness.

In life we laugh, we grieve, we cry, we enjoy....we love....and then what?....we forget?...No we don't....we remember. I am told that if one can truly come to terms with everything that happens, we will generally have happy memories. But how many of us has that luxury? To be truly at peace. But one thing I know for sure is, whether they make my laugh, or cry, or stop me from sleeping, I truly do cherish my memories, I truly cherish all the people and places and events connected to those memories, no matter how they make me feel, and I will never ever forget them. They will always matter, they will always have a place in my heart.
