Trip to the Past

Memories are the strongest thing in human mind. Though we lose them, they're seemingly etched into the mind. Sometimes the bad memories are the strongest, but what would balance them but the few good. Seemingly, a person is more into losing the great memories, the memories that keep sanity around, than the bad ones that hurt us much more. The question is why?

I returned to my high school today, I recently graduated, but it's always good to think about the past four years of my life in the hallowed halls, and all the stuff I'd achieved, of all the friends I'd made, and all the bad things that have come to me recently seemingly disappeared for the few hours I was back in the old school. I remember the nonchalance of my Junior year, it only lasted my junior year, but it was probably the most I blossomed. The bad memories were gone, if only for a short period of time.

The question that comes tom ind is...if I destroy those memories for this short period of time...then why can't I do so for extended periods? To forget that something bad happened to you temporarily is so simple, but it seems that to do so for an extended amount of time is impossible for us. I leave you with this thought. Why can't we hold these bright feelings that come and go? Sometimes it's better to try to seize a moment of purity and happiness, one that's supposed to be indestructible. Give it a try, next time you're depressed, to take your mind of the depression and hold to the thoughts that bring you happiness. Slowly dissipate depression from your mind.
