Memories

Something I wrote before college began. It looks incomplete, but I think I'll leave it like it is.

I love memories. I think everyone does. And while we may not realise it then, we create awesome memories all the time. I have very clear memories of things that happened very long ago, and I think I'll remember them all my life. Very often, there's no reason for remembering a particular thing. Something strikes a chord somewhere inside you and it just sticks up there in one of the thousand folds of the brain. Usually, they are happy things - holidays, birthdays, special occasions - but there are few not-so-happy things which will stay with me too, and while the former are great to look back on, the latter give you another perspective on things. Now, as a person, I don't really believe in living in the past but sometimes, a quick scan of your brain can reveal things you'd never thought of earlier. There is a lot of stuff that has happened in the years gone by that I didn't like at the time. But now, they formulate the base of my childhood and these are the things I'll always have with me as I step out of school, into another world. I'm sure college will be as much fun, if not more but I couldn't really have asked for a better school life. I'm sure everyone feels the same way - almost everyone has fun at school! So here's to many more happy memories, which I can frame in my mind and then one day look back upon with a huge smile!
