So Let’s have a little thought here, WHat is it that makes memories memories?

Something, or some event that was effective enough upon one’s self to make a lasting impact.

Let’s look at the dictionary definition now:

mem·o·ry play_w2(“M0212600″) (mm-r)n. pl. mem·o·ries

1. The mental faculty of retaining and recalling past experience.
2. The act or an instance of remembering; recollection: spent the afternoon lost in memory.
3. All that a person can remember: It hasn’t happened in my memory.
4. Something remembered: pleasant childhood memories.
5. The fact of being remembered; remembrance: dedicated to their parents’ memory.
6. The period of time covered by the remembrance or recollection of a person or group of persons: within the memory of humankind.
Hmm… I don’t think any of those really captures what a memory really is.  They all lack a certain something, Emotional explanation. Unless something had some large impact on your life and that’s why you remember it, could it really be called a memory? well I don’t really want to talk about what a memory is really tho, I got off subject to an extent. I want to focus more on some I have and regrets…
Well So Latley I have been thinking a lot about the past. What is the past but a recolection of time frames put together into signals sent throughout the brain and body triggering a mental, emotional and physical response.  Some make you feel sad and sometimes you feel happy and yet others make everything seem to disappear. man I used to love exploring different emotional responses, but lately they all seem to lead eventually into sadness or depression. It seems this world is hard wiring us all to inevitably end up on the lower end of the emotional spectrum, as if everything we encounter will eventually lead us to sadness. Idk.. I cant talk about this right now. I need to work on this later.. so.. yeah…
