Memories are one of the things humans cherish, and this is why it is so hard for people to move on after a break up with someone they love, it is not really the person but the memories of that person that get them stuck for a long time...
You will realize after you started seeing someone else, that feelings you had for your ex start to fade away, this is because you have started creating memories with someone else.
Some past memories of my childhood put a smile on my face and some even triggered my emotions, there was a time I visited home after 5 years of staying away and I realized that the front door I could not open until I climbed a stool back then can now be easily opened by me because I have grown taller.
I did not take pictures when I was small and It is kind of painful because I would have loved to see the transition from childhood to adulthood, this is one of the reasons why pictures are so important, they bring back memories, I only have one picture of myself which was when I was 4 years old and I cherish it since it is the only picture of my childhood that I have.
Another thing that I cherish is my secondary school uniform, I do not really know what or who gave my mum the idea, she washed, ironed, and hung my secondary school uniform in her wardrobe and I am glad she did because whenever I visit and saw how big I have grown past the uniform, I feel so emotional!
Other things from my childhood that are not mine still exist now, my dad is someone who knows how to keep things, so the video cassettes that I watched in my childhood are all still where he kept them, The phonograph records that he plays back then are all still in the house, even my favorite metal chair is at home but unfortunately I have grown past it.
I am going to create memories for my child with pictures and all the things he used, those memories are beautiful ones that everyone deserves to keep.
This prompt flooded me with memories, it makes me remember those years when my parents were still young and energetic, I am sad that they are getting old and weak now. if only time could be reversed, I would so wish that we could all go back to those years but no one lives forever, we are all getting old.*
This is why it is necessary to live in the moment because time is ticking and before we know it, we will be the ones in the position that our parents are now... My prayer is every parent should reap the fruit of their labor before they die.
