This is kind of a constant goal for me. I always want to remember the good times in my life, all those times I smiled and laughed, had a new experience, found out good news, won a game, got a good grade, made a friend, etc. I love reminiscing on the past, and to me remembering things that are long gone isn’t sad, but joyful because I got to have that experience at one point, and I got to feel good. Also, remembering good times in bad times helps me because it gives me hope that I will have good moments again. Its kinda like the saying its better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. I’d rather have really great experiences that may never come again than have a so-so existence throughout my life, because I will always have the memory of those good times. This is why I could never regret going out with my last boyfriend, because although the break up hurt, and we may never have had a huge romantic attraction, he made me happy for those few weeks and gave me great moments that I’ll always remember.
