memory

i heard once that there are two kinds of happy memories:

one, there are those memories where you look back and you realize that you were happy, even though you didn't know it at the moment.
two, there are those memories where in the moment, you recognize and embrace how happy you are, and even after that instance you feel the warmth and joy of that time for many years to come.

i think this is why so often i tend to hold onto the past. there are so many good memories there where I know I was happy, that it's difficult to let go...
or maybe, i don't necessarily have to let go.
maybe i can keep them for a while longer and linger in them from time to time, but remember that there will be many moments like that to come. or at least i hope they will.



i hate this quote because it's so cliche but...
"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." — Dr. Seuss
