Posted at 4:30 PM Although this year was one of my favorite years of my life, it was also the hardest. Working like crazy, falling in love, being apart from family, and having a friend and family member die within a week of each other. This year is definitely my most memorable one.

I'm not exactly sure why but I love preserving memories and remembering them. I feel like it's a human super power - being able to recall past experiences and being able to picture it in your mind. Whenever I get high, I remember thoughts I used to think to myself back when I was around 7-10 years old. The feeling I get from remembering these is completely satisfying. Kind of like how you feel when you hear an old song you used to be in love with when you were younger. I wish I could somehow record all my memories and put them into my computer so I can see them whenever I wanted. Who knows, maybe someone will invent technology in the future that will make this happen.

I'm hoping that I won't forget any of the beautiful moments I had this year. They mean a lot to me but sometimes, I lose my memories in my mind. Occasionally however, I randomly get a glimpse of a happy memory, just out of the blue. And that makes me smile no matter what mood I'm in.

Being a human is such a gift and I definitely don't take it for granted. I could live off the happiness of my memories.
