The more time passes by and I make more memories, the more I forget certain pieces of the past. It's ok with me. Those that stay have an emotional component that keeps them locked in there. That's how we store memories. What are memories? Memories are pieces of life that have been stored in the mind, body and soul and that I can remember with the conscious mind. While the subconscious mind stores everything that ever happened to me, I don't consciously remember everything.
