Sometimes when people ask me what I feel about a book and I forget what that book is about, but I will always remember the feeling when I was reading that book. I don't have an elephant's memory, so I might forget the contents but it's interesting that I always remember the feeling when I was reading that book. It reminds me why I was reading that book, and the emotions, sometimes subtle, I had when I was reading the book. Human beings are really interesting creatures. They can forget what happened, but there is always a way they memorize something. People who lost their memories might recognize their parents or people who they are close with in another way. I like it that there is always something connecting us together, whether it's connecting to another person, or to a plant. I also got similar experience when I listen to music. I can always recall what my feelings or emotions were when I looped an old song, but I might forget what exactly happened around the time period when I looped that song.
I am not sure if you've ever been to a place that makes you feel "If I stayed here, something inside me would be lost forever - something I couldn't afford to lose. It was like a vague dream, a burning, unfulfilled desire. The kind of dream people have only when they're seventeen". I am a girl with lots of dreams. I am becoming more realistic now than before. But I always have something deep in my heart that makes me tingle. I always imagine what I will think when I look back at my current state of life when I am 40, or 70. I feel people are sometimes too afraid of loss and they don't dare to try. My philosophy is that never fear to lose, fear not to try. Even sometimes there is a little chance, but no one knows that you can't be that exception until you try. I treasure every chance coming to my life and I am glad I can brave when I have to. I feel I have become more rational, more calm, and stronger after these few years, failures or successes, I just treat them with placid.
