spending all my time stuck in yesterday

memories.

what makes a memory?

well what ever they are, I sure have alot of them. but it seems like I can never get the whole picture, i can only get snippits of memories. Like I remember that when I was four i got sent to my room for the night, I just can't rember why. I remember thrashing in my Dads arms saying "Put me down! I don't wanna go to my room!". I can even see that I was wearing a white T shirt and purple shorts....but I still can't remember why I was going to my room.

Were supposed to remember not only the goodtimes in our life, but the bad ones as well. Why the human brain decides that our worst or most embarassing memories are the ones that we remember the strongest, I will never understand.

But I do know this;

Memories decide what kind of person we are. If a person has solid, happy memories as a child, they seem to be happier when they grow up. if someone had a shady childhood with not so pleasent memories, its going to tak a lot more work to change that person

Earlier was a bad example. My life is filled with tons of happy memories! like when my sister was born ( even though I say I hate her), when we bought Trix; my puppy, or when I ralized who my real friends are, and they are probably included in half the memories I have.

Theres only a few moments in my life that I wish I could erase or pretend never happened, but I know that over time, those moments will just become a part of my story, just like all the rest of my memories
