Memories are strong emotions, if you would even call them an emotion? I personally think we as humans are addicted to emotions. If you think of a past situation, whether it was good or bad, you still usually have fond memories of it. Take school for an example. While you are in it, you can think of nothing but getting out of it for good, but after you get out, you look back with fond memories. We really just don’t realize that things we experience today will one day be memories that will never come again. What’s really sad is when you do not realize how good something is until you lose it. Another example, there are times that I have experienced with friends in the past, and I know that I will never be put in that situation with those same friends again, and it really is sad to think about. Never take what you have for granted, because you don’t realize that one day it won’t be the same.
