Memories. Memorize. Memorizing memories. We tend to tweak our memories. We throw in some imagination to what actually happened and create something new.

My greatest fear is that I won't be able to remember significant events that have happened in my life. I'm one of those people that daydream in the past and the future, but I don't want to remake my memories into new and false ones. I get scared thinking that the memories I have now aren't true to what happened years and years ago. I want to feel in contact with my youth, but can I say that I'm one hundred percent sure that what I remember is real? I can't, yet I feel some comfort in recognizing this so that I can begin to memorize my memories.
