Memories make up lives.

I tried and tried to get this one single post right. This is my 6th attempt at it and I'm going to make sure it's the last one too. What I want to say it's that difficult but since it's never happened with me it isn't that easy to put into words.

You know how social media is often used to display relationships between people. Well, what I noticed was that in case these two people end off on a bad note or sometimes maybe even on good terms, they erase all the memories that they had put out for the world to see. 

I know it's about personal choice and all that but how can you not cherish those memories anymore? I feel as though half the time removing the pictures and statues and what not associated with that person is in fact a way to let the world know. Putting pictures is declaring love and removing them is the final verdict. I can't write this very clearly because thankfully I haven't reached such a stage but I don't think I'd ever let go off all those memories. Something's end and we need to accept that. We don't need to use social media to get over something, in fact why do we even need to get over it? Why can't it just be a part of our life? Not a part that we are out to erase, not a part that we regret. Just a part that we cherished. A part of our life that has helped us in some way or another to be the person that we are, had given us memories worth more than just those pictures we set out to delete.

No one said life would always be good memories and nothing else. No one also said that you can't make your life go your way. Always remember that your life is that one place where you run everything, you decide who stays and who doesn't. You decide how and you feel and why you do. Life is the one happy place that you want it to be. And if it isn't so then make it, feel free to experiment, explore and most importantly, don't forget to make a few mistakes. 

Every memory is worth remembering. Be it good or bad. It was a part of your life and no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to erase it. Yes, you might be able to push it to the back of your mind but you'll never be completely rid of it. It will forever be a part of your life. 

Keep the memories, they'll make great stories.
