people tend to forget about things that happened in the past, be it anything, sad or happy or whatever.

when it is the past and what your physical and mental self have experienced which has made us the very what we are today.

it is like baking a cake and forgetting the exact components and ingredients of a the cake after you are done!

remembering the past, i feel, makes us a more complete person..

even if the past hurts, it only serves as a greater reason why we should remember them, because the more it hurts, the more we should not repeat our mistakes again.

ah... the good old times.

it is a huge pity that the newer generations will miss out on what we have experienced in the past.

children nowdays are so modernised, they lose the beautiful innocence at a younger age than we did. knowledge and exposure to life corrupts and destroys innocence. as a child who is not exposed to such stuff, you will have a more meaningful and beautiful memory because simply you are having fun in your own little world and cant be bothered with anything else.

but sooner or later, everything comes to us.

people like us who were born in the 80s to the early 90s were exposed to so much fun and memorable things, i can list so many:
