I think the only reason people hold onto memories so tight is because memories are the only things that don't change, even when everybody else does..
Looking back on what I said all those years ago, all the hopes and dreams I had, I've come to the conclusion that if having things turn out the way u wanted them to is a measure of a successful life, then some would say I'm a failure.. The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments.. Learn to let go of the past, and recognize that every day won't be sunny.. And when u find yourself lost in the darkness of despair remember, it's only in the black of night that u see the stars, and those stars lead u back home..
