Memories

I'm sure every person has had experiences that have stood out to them.  It can be meeting a person who changes your life or achieving a long-desired goal; it can be anything.  The saddest part about these experiences is that they always seem to fly by so quickly.  You wish they could last just those five minutes longer.  They never do, however, and you are then left with a wonderful memory.

Experiencing something in life you consider incredible will likely become a cherished story that you may never forget.  Such positive influential moments make me personally remember why even the worst experiences in life are, in a sense, necessary.  Without them, it's unlikely we'd appreciate the good times as much as we do.

After having the most amazing weekend of my life on April 2-4, 2010, I've come to truly realize how important memories are.  They're a core part of who we become and, in some cases, can also encourage us to become better people.
