Life is all about creating memories and storing them in our minds for a longer duration of time. Youth only comes once and it is highly recommended that you find strategic ways to savor them for a longer time. The most popular methodology arises via capturing scenic and picturesque moments using a camera or a smartphone. Psychologically speaking, there are two types of memories: long-term and short-term. Long-term memories last around a lifetime whereas short-term memories last approximately 30 seconds.
I view our entire landscape of life as a string of long-term events that should always stick to us as tightly as possible. Hence, it is exceedingly imperative that we focus more on how to adequately store and save our lifelong memories! Collecting souvenirs from almost all the places that you visit or travel can rekindle past memories of what the place looked look and of all the archaic activities you may have been involved in. In other words, videos and pictures with people you have met on the way there along with your loved ones will further stimulate neural connections in your brain instantaneously.
Memories have a huge impact on us throughout our lives because they can be broken up into many genres, just like books. They can be romantics, comedies, or even tragedies. Some can be magnificently peaceful, rivetingly hilarious, eternally romantic, and sorrowfully traumatizing. These are the hallmark shades of life that we have all been going through almost our entire lives and treasuring them in the form of articulate memories will be our true wealth in life.
A tragic experience can be a lifelong lesson and it can prevent you from making the same mistake another time. In addition, some memories can initiate the feelings of getting a second chance in life. For instance, a bitter relationship with your previous significant other will shape the blooming of another relationship with who you feel may be the right one for you. When one relationship doesn't work out after several phases of "trying to make it work," you will steadily start to realize that you should definitely move on and be mindful of potential relationships arriving at your footsteps. Indeed, memories initiate the seeds of reflection. Finally, our lives are constantly governed by the intake of spectacular and out of the blue memories!
