It can change your presective and alter feelings. It affects us in ways both subtle and overt and never how we expect. Chronically unbound, it's potency is immeasurable and constant. Memory. Images - events, people, places-  forever burned in the cortexes of our minds never. Though it dims with age, time sweetens moments like fruit to be plucked and savored. Some moments, too sweet, rot with the tread of time, leaving it's bearer to pine for better times. moments passed more saccharin than possible, the fruit so syrup sweetened it turns sour and can only dream of what can never return. Memories should be savored like a wine - a little bit with each sip. The best memories are a complex of emotion and people. Even bitter memories can smile with notes of pear and strawberry.
