Someone once told me, “Memory is something that I appreciate so much. Thanks to it, I rememeber things and feelings that will never happen again, thanks to it I remember things I am looking forward to, and thanks to it I am a better person…“ 

Memory… Isn’t that something so wonderful? Memories triggered by so many little things – smells, looks, pictures, touch – they bring our feelings back, revive us, remind of what is possible and what we want.

Sometimes we wish we had no memory, sometimes we wish we’d forget… Sometimes we wish we didn’t do something, sometimes we wish we hadn’t done mistakes.. Memory is something that continues teaching us over and over again. Memory lets us not to repeat mistakes. However, by trying to avoid repeating mistakes of the past, we need to make sure that we don’t make new ones, ones that are harder to correct.

I remember that saying about memory more and more often… And at the moment I heard it, I thought that it was a rather trivial statement. However, only with time I realized how much that statement means. Memories are something I appreciate a lot, because without them, many of us would have already given up.
