The memory seems to be our friend who visits us time to time.It can be pretty overwhelming and uncomfortable to open the door for your guest. That kind of situation is easy to compare with a visit of a relative ,who usually comes on family holidays with a huge hope to surprise you but is not ready for your none-surprised facial expression.
Of course the memories belong to different groups.This time I would like to talk not only about the "unexpected guest" but also about different types of memories and the outcome of their visits.
Lets start with the positive memories that warm our heart every time they visit us. This memories may come from childhood and from my personal experience they come as a smell.It may be a smell of a flower,of a perfume , of some sort of food etc.. This memories usually make you want to chase them.Probably it is their only disadvantage. At that moments I wish I was a time traveler.
The other type of memories are the ones that come right before overthinking. Supposedly they visit us after we think that we have done something wrong or try to reconstruct the story in our mind.They are usually a cause of anxiety...
Now about the positive and courageous memories. I usually compare this memories with day dreaming. These are the ones that easily distract you from whatever you're doing(studying,talking to a friend.listening to music. etc.). They are one of those unexpected visitors too, the difference is that they are always welcome.
Memories from any group visit us easily with the support of their special bonds with our dreams. We think we can escape from them, but they always find a way, doesn't matter consciously or subconsciously.
It really doesn't matter to which group your memories belong to, they belong to the group of teachers in our lives and each memory is a chance for a bigger success.
Each memory is a chance...
