Archives;
and so, i was browsing around the blogsphere just now. I noticed something that daunted upon me. Why does certain people have the "archives" section in their blog, while others chose to take it away?(i'm assuming)
then, I looked at my long list of archives I have in my own space here. However, I didn't bother to click on them to read back the history of my life. Now, it has really left me thinking; What's the purpose of the existence of this section?
To me, I never really wanted to look back at my archives to purposely remind me of events or happening that I do not really remember. What's past is past. Whatever retains in your memory, let it be. If one needs to click back on that section and goes, "Oh, now i remember that this happen", then it's really pointless. This only reflects that your brain (or yourself) wants to have selective memory. At least, (for me) all that is being retained in me, are only pieces of life I really wish to remember.
Let me quote an example. If I only remember the happy times I have with you, and if I were to look back into my archives and read about those bad past we had, and then my memory of you is like intruded, what's the point? I CHOSE TO REMEMBER THE GOOD TIME WE SHARED.
I do not know if my message is being conveyed, but if at this point of time, you bother clicking onto my archives, please do not ask me anything. I only believe in my own memory, may it be beautiful or not-so-beautiful ones. xD
Afterall, life ain't a cassette of video;
You can't press the rewind button
needless to say, the replay one.
The only option we have,
is to save the files in our permanent harddisk.
This drive, is our brain.
Because memories that are stored inside,
will never be deleted or taken away...
