Memories that withhold our present.

I know you might wonder what am trying to do with 'memories' and 'present'.

Well we often stick to memories, when we need a escape plan. Whenever we feel sick of our present, we tend to escalate towards a land, which is full of good memories. Those memories makes us forget our fiasco. Remembering those days brings a carefree smile over our wrinkled face.
But today maybe am not in a mood to talk about good memories.  Why always good?
lets enlighten you to the darker side of the memories. 

To start with there is no good or bad memories. Dont get all confused now, there is no good or bad in the world. Its all about your sense of seing things. Now I would have definitely elaborated this topic,  but lets leave this for someother time.

Bad memories?  Familiar with the term?
oh yes. You totally must be knowing what it means to go through a phase which brings out the worst kind of days that you must have faced. There are lots of things that you might have done out of your foolish behaviour, which must have lead you to a situation, where you stood all helpless.

"There is no bad or good memories, its all about how you see things"

Letting go of old things is difficult. We all must have been through a phase which we want to forget at any cost. We do everything is our power to eradicate that incident from our memory. Not just this, if anyone brings up that topic we highly get irritated by there presence and we get into a gloomy mood. But i always wonder, why to forget things!

"Forgetting memories means that we deliberately want to get rid of that experience, which also helped us to become a better person".

Can't we just live with the fact that it taught us something which might be helpful in near future.  Forgetting means you are embarresed of what you did. Embarresed of your deeds which inspired you to do great things.  Everything that happens with us, not just gives us bittersweet memories but they also teach is a lesson. A lesson which would change the way we analyse things. It makes us immune to that same foolish act.

"If a particular thing goes against our favor then we term it as bad".

Not everything is bound to go in our favor. We have to get used to the fact that at some point things will go against us. And instead of dreading that experience, we need to learn from it and let it go. No matter how much we dread our past due to these incidents, but in the end all we can do is cherish them and promise to not commit same thing again. There is no need to be guilty of what you did in the past, afterall at that time you really wanted it.
So get over the fact that something miserable happened in your past. Dont try to forget it. Remember it till the end and learn from it. Sometime we got so attached to our past that it gets harder to concentrate on our present.  Don't let this happen with you.
