Collect Souvenirs, Take Pictures, And Record Videos To Preserve Long-Term Memories

Life is all about creating memories and storing them in our minds for a longer duration of time. Youth only comes once and it is highly recommended that you find strategic ways to savor them for a longer time. The most popular methodology arises via capturing scenic and picturesque moments using a camera or a smartphone. Psychologically speaking, there are two types of memories: long-term and short-term. Long-term memories last around a lifetime whereas short-term memories last approximately 30 seconds.

I view our entire landscape of life as a string of long-term events that should always stick to us as tightly as possible. Hence, it is exceedingly imperative that we focus more on how to adequately store and save our lifelong memories! Collecting souvenirs from almost all the places that you visit or travel can rekindle past memories of what the place looked look and of all the archaic activities you may have been involved in. In other words, videos and pictures with people you have met on the way there along with your loved ones will further stimulate neural connections in your brain instantaneously.

Memories have a huge impact on us throughout our lives because they can be broken up into many genres, just like books. They can be romantics, comedies, or even tragedies. Some can be magnificently peaceful, rivetingly hilarious, eternally romantic, and sorrowfully traumatizing. These are the hallmark shades of life that we have all been going through almost our entire lives and treasuring them in the form of articulate memories will be our true wealth in life.

A tragic experience can be a lifelong lesson and it can prevent you from making the same mistake another time. In addition, some memories can initiate the feelings of getting a second chance in life. For instance, a bitter relationship with your previous significant other will shape the blooming of another relationship with who you feel may be the right one for you. When one relationship doesn't work out after several phases of "trying to make it work," you will steadily start to realize that you should definitely move on and be mindful of potential relationships arriving at your footsteps. Indeed, memories initiate the seeds of reflection. Finally, our lives are constantly governed by the intake of spectacular and out of the blue memories!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
