Memories


They say memory dissipates as time rolls on
But low do they know, age brings the wisdom
To categorize thoughts in arenas of importance 
Those who forget may be the happiest in life
Gliding through the world ignoring pain
After all, this is what so many try to achieve while
Sedating themselves and chasing dragons....
Even dragons that will not return
This is one of the biggest mysteries of life
We could spend our life times trying to forget and
then complain about it in our later years
What if we embraced life for all of its moments
Grasped onto every tear
Observed every fault and learned from every mistake
What if we used our sorrows to gain strengths
Eventually we would see beauty in everything
These traits are commonly overlooked while basking in
the relaxation of peace or resting on a pillow of tranquility
So to speak.
I encourage everyone to take pride in what they do
Admit faults to themselves and strive for forgiveness
Set goals and achieve them twice over
Resist the temptation to smirk in the presence of those you dislike
And remember those who love you
You always get what you put out.
Put out a bunch of negative energy and become very unhappy
Put out positive energy and fuel up on joy

Life is simple. Don't over-complicate it.
