The memory box is inexhaustible. Memories are always present in us. I particularly think that it is impossible to consciously forget.
This image represents my childhood. It is a stimulus that reaches the brain and opens that box of memories.
Thanks to memories we are what we are, for better or for worse. That we have good memories depends on our present because It is NOW when you can start to live each moment in an exceptional way to make it worthy of an excellent memory.
Past events are still alive, somehow, in our minds. We can see and hear them. We can let them pass or hold on to them. I personally think it is good to remember in order to obtain the wisdom that emerges from each memory. You also learn from bad times, although it is not advisable to hold on to them or stay stagnant. These bad memories must be kept in the bottom of our box.
Memories can be more beautiful in our minds than when we were the protagonists in their present moment because the passage of time makes you appreciate other nuances that you did not take into account in their day.
I hope your memories are as good as mine and don't forget to open your box from time to time.
