"Memories are like photo albums..."

"...You fill it with pictures and label it as a section or event. 'Summer of 2010' or something. Flip through it and then put it away on a shelf and let it collect dust as time goes by and you create more photo albums to keep it company. But once in awhile, you go back through it. And as you slowly turn the pages and see the photos from the past you feel something. You feel nostalgic emotion. Happiness, sadness, anger, regret, etc. Emotions that you felt at the time of the picture. Sometimes it takes an event to become a memory for you to fully realize how wonderful it really was. A bad event can turn into a funny memory. An everyday regular hangout with friend can end up being a memory full of happiness and thanks. But with each photo, you, for a split second, a split moment, relive your memory. Relive what made you who you are today. Memories are precious things. They keep us going. When we're down, we think of all the good times we have and all the good things we're blessed with. Like friends, family, random occurrences that make your day. And you get back up and continue on the path called life. Treasure your memories and look back on them once in awhile. Dust off the photo album and flip through the pages. Go through the pictures and remember the good times and the bad. But those memories make you, you."
