Memories in a Glass

Sometimes I wonder if we are just memories in a glass, in everyone’s glass at some point or another.

There are glasses that are ½ full while other are ½ empty.

You can take the memories in your glass and swish it around and pull out only things that make you happy.

It could be that your glass has been left out and they are a little dry, so you can only remember little bits and pieces when you try to remember them.

Then there are memories that are just plain awful, and you don’t ever want to remember them again.

In that case that you would swish your cup around a little bit harder, so those horrible memories can splash out of the glass and onto the ground and seep into the concrete, so they can never to be remembered again.

Then you have those happy memories that you never want to forget.

So, you keep them right on top, so they can always be there ready to be remembered.

Yet some how along the way …..

There will be times in your life when you swish your memory glass the wrong way.

Which makes all the bad memories that you thought you had forgotten rush back in.

This is when you swish your glass again this time with a little more force, so the bad memories go back to the bottom of the glass in hope that they will never surface again.
