past memories

[SuperSabin]

Thought I'd might bring up the subject of past memories (good or bad) on this forum since there are not any threads like it except the toy thread.
What kind of memories do you look back on?

Which one was most favorable to you?

If its a bad memory, what do you regret from it?

I love to look back on my previous vacations like back when I was 13, my parents, sister, and I went to several states in a 35 day span. We drove from Florida to South Dakota then all the way to California and then back to Florida. Sometimes I forget about this experience but when I remember, its great to look back on.

Sometimes when I drink too much, I kind of half remember things. One time I hooked up with a girl, gave her my number, and then the next week, when she texted me, I had no idea what had transpired. That was a bad memory, since I only vaguely remember saying hi to her at the bar that night.

I usually try and remember the good times. Most of my favourite memories are of ones when I was at school. You know, enjoying hanging out with my friends, earning achievements, certain trips, etc. Sounds pretty lame to think of school, but the friends I had and saw every single day are amazing.

Sometimes I just end up remembering things when I'm left to think for long periods of time. I'm one of the few people I know who actually remembers things from when I was really young. For example, my grandmother passed away when I was about four years old, yet I remember what she looked like, small things she did (like peeling apples for me because I hated the skin), what the hospital she was in was like, certain trips we went on with her, etc. It's not usually a topic we talk about at home either, so it's not as if I've been told something, and fake memory appeared in my head.

As well as the good times, I sometimes try and remember the bad. They can teach a lot sometimes, depending on the memory.

Which one was most favorable to you?
I can't exactly pin point my most favourite memory.

If its a bad memory, what do you regret from it?
I don't regret anything about my past. It's made me who I am today. Bad memories can teach you to do/n't do certain things. It's all part of a learning experience called "life", and everyone is allowed to make mistakes. Dwelling on them takes up too much time when you could be making new, and better memories for yourself.
