Memories

I value and cherish my memories. Always like going back to them. My memories usually seem to remain intact. I've shared a memorable moment with few of my friends when we toiled up to climb up a 18,000 foot mountain. Standing there on the summit after eights days with an ocean of jagged peaks, rock and snow as far as you could see. With my friends i can always go back to that moment of bliss.

But you feel extremely unsettled when you can't go back to a memory created with someone. Because that memory doesnt mean the same to the other person. Suddenly one of my most priced possession is lost. I dont like it when it happens to my memories.

I'll grow i'll learn to accept that your memories are yours, irrespective of the fact that others have forgotten about it. Maybe the people you create a memory with are extremely important, without whom that memory is lost. Then i guess i'll be more careful with whom i create memories.
I'll learn. I'll accept. I'll grow.

we cant be careful while creating a memory. Its your memory and may not be very important to the other person, about this, dont know the sure way out. But theres no way out!

I don't believe it should matter whether the memory you had in common with a person depends on that person's feeling about it or not. What does matter is how YOU feel about the memory and what you are taking out of it. Memories are very personal things and the most important thing is that you grow from it and that you take out the lesson of th experience you had from that memory.
We should not base our experiences on others, but we should rather see them as a gift we had from interacting with them. We will stay individuals and what matters most is the way we look at things rather then caring about how others perceive it. In the end, everything depends on our way of looking at things. It's up to us to take the most out of it ... or not! Everything is up to us.
