We go through many memorable moments in life.  A baby is born 30 years ago. A car crash in the middle of the night when you were four.  A head butt that left you nose bleeding on the street at twenty.  A drunken night of fun and dance with loved ones just last year…

But then, inexplicably, some elements of these memories take over others;  you try hard to remember it all.  But there is no hope.  In the end these elements, being image, sound, smell, touch…  all interact with the emotions that were there (or not!) at the time.  And there you are, remembering events that did not happen, or not the way others experienced them, maybe not even you.  You are being transported into a realm of emotions that are either good or bad or both at once, but strong, as they are the ones that survive and take over the long process of erasure.

This is what memory does to our moments.
