Making Memories Real Again

In today's selfie age we can take thousands of photos instantly and publish them online any time of the day. Or we can just archive them in our devices and get back to them whenever we want. Worst, they can be buried in the archives forever.
But I think the mind is a more powerful photographer. It takes photos that are never forgotten, of moments forever etched not only in our minds, but in our hearts as well.
However, this ability to remember 'heart photos' can both be a gift and a curse, for there are moments we'd rather forget but we can't. Also there are life moments that we would like to progress and develop more, but they are already stucked for some reason. And that's even more frustrating.
But you see, we still live in the same planet. It's not like we have to pass through a wormhole to get there. We could always just hop on a plane and see that place we always wanted to visit, or see that someone we want to spend more time with. After all, walls are invisible, and we can always live outside of the box we have surrounded ourselves with. All we need to do is take that single step, follow our hearts, have courage and take the risk. Let us not be content with just old memories. Let's make new ones and make them real again.
