unless you get a free pass through a wormhole or hop on to that elusive time machine, it's highly unlikely that you can regain the time that passed since you started reading this piece. what is left is a fleeting memory that may get lost amid the influx of stimuli that bombards you in a blink of an eye.
people write (or type), take pictures, record sound, bring back souvenirs and shoot movies to capture that moment and temporarily freeze time.
...because we want to remember.
...because we choose to treasure the experience and the people who mutually influenced us to be the person who stares back through the looking glass.
as for those that needed to be purged, there's selective amnesia, burned and deleted memorabilia.
i choose to remember what i could, while i could.
