Quoted By:
as you grow as a person out of childhood you bring memories with you. maybe a conversation with a friend. maybe your mother or father or a similar figure. maybe an intimate lesson from a book or movie. these memories change you as you reflect on them over many years. at first you simply think about them a lot. you think about them all the time. you think about how they relate to you and vise versa, and it never stops. the words or the face or the principle is so important that it doesn't go away. but then one day you find that you can't quite remember all the details of the memory. maybe you can't remember it at all. but the miracle is, the lesson has been wound up inside you, like a spring, and it ticks away, parceled out of your personality like a ticking clock.
only time can tell you how special some memories are. only time.
