Your Stories Equal My Stories

There was a tinge of boredome encompassing me. Not just today, but also the past few days. And it's not like I don't have anything to do, I've got so much to do yet my brain tells me, Oh just chill. So, I thought I should make use of my time and do something I love doing so maybe in this process, I can remove some guilt of not doing anything productive. 

So yes, I saw a quote/statement this morning that got my brain thinking AGAIN! Brain Oh Brain, why do you love to think so much? Anyway, the quote got me realizing that each of us have so many stories to tell; or at least, so many stories within us whether we choose to share or not. It's amazing when we come to think of how much life has given to us - the different experiences that we have collected and kept them somewhere in us - some say it's within the brain, others say within the heart. I wouldn't know. But what I do know is, that all these experiences or technically, the memory of all these experiences are kept, but only a fader, dimmer and duller expression of them all. Because no matter how hard we try to treasure that very moment of feelings, no one can do it - it is just how it is. It's impossible. That original feeling at the time it happened would not be felt with that same intensity. So maybe, the brain isn't that powerful afterall.

So if that is the case, how do we try to keep and treasure that very feeling within us? Especially those positive feelings that come to us and we're all like, Stop the time! I want this happiness forever! It's such a funny world. But that is the thing, how do we treasure? I just think maybe we've got to tell them to somebody, share it! Because through sharing, one would spread the joy and it's like a virus! And so, maybe when we come back recalling that memory, someone else may be able to help us put the pieces together, put colors onto it and make it appear as near-colorful as the original as possible. So really, the stories (experiences) don't mean anything when you have got no one to tell them to.
