Memories

A close friend recently told me, "No matter what the outcome of any relationship is and no matter what the label is, the memories are all yours". She is absolutely accurate in that aspect because when I look around my house, I am surrounded by memories. Believe me, I have a lot of those. Small little souvenirs that ex boyfriends and friends picked up for me on one of their trips and I display and use them all the time. It is true that each one holds a special place in my heart because there is a happy moment associated with it. They all come rushing back when I am cleaning the shelves and pick each of these items to dust. I remember the wonderful times at Disney world or in Bangalore or just the quiet times in Ann Arbor. The people I associate with these might not even be a part of my life anymore but they are an important part of my past and make nice happy memories which I will always cherish.
