Memory is mutable.
It changes a little each time you go there.
Like remembering a dream
The memory is not the dream.
But it’s my memory.
It really happened to me.
I really experienced the feelings
Even if it only happened inside me.
Eyewitness testimony is suspect.
One person’s memory some time later
Morphs into their subjective story
Merged into their imagination.
There is no written record in the mind.
The story of our past is like an oral history
Altered over time being told again and again.
This is the way we make our own myths.
Like becoming aware of yourself dreaming
You can modify your negative memories.
Explore the picture in your mind.
Focus for a moment on some beauty or pleasure.
The memory will be transformed.
Whatever happened is not forgotten
But now the positive response changes it
And your outlook on life improves.
