As the years go by, we change our hair style, gain weight, lose weight (if you’re lucky), lose hair, get wrinkles here and there, in sum… we get old. Hopefully, we’ll also learn how to deal with the world every time better based on our experiences and on the memories that were left.
These days, I’ve been learning more than ever – usually on the hard way. Some things that I see and hear, I keep in my mind preventing me to do the same mistakes, although most of the times, I just remain on it – the same wrong sueter in a cold day, that shoe that gives me blisters… the same bad pattern of boyfriend. But as a great person told me once, I have a long life ahead of me to fix those mistakes.
Thinking about this long time to fix my mistakes and in how even after months they still hurt, I wondered: what could be more efficient ?
In times like ours, there is a way for everything - even for bad memories. Scientists recently found the hormone that regulates the storage of hard memories, like sad or stressful events. According to the study, it would be possible to erase those memories by manipulating this particular hormone.
That could take years… or decades. And some memories just shouldn’t be kept that long. I’ve found a quicker solution.
The DELETE key.
You can easily find it on your cell phone too. Because some numbers, some messages and some e-mails just bring bad memories, and sometimes is just too much.
Recently I have done a real cleaning in my memory devices.Starting with an illusion that I had about someone. I had constructed an image based in what I knew from years ago. The funny thing is that this person was exactly the same even after all this time, except for the grey hair and his new bely. But I'm changed. That file need an update, and it was just not possible. It was DELETED.
Going over my cell I realized how many cute messages I had. Things like "meeting you was the sweetest thing ever"; "Can't wait to see you again"; "You're cute too, and I can't wait to make out with you ". DELETED. It turned out this person, let's say... had to move back to Chicago, or had his cell lost, and therefore my number too. I don't know... this all sound just better than... that very handsome guy I meat at Cosi's on 14th street never called me back.
The greatest thing about the deleting process is that you open space in your memory capacity that can be use for storage problably even better files.
Now, be aware. Some other files you just can't delete. You either leave them on the Recicle Byn or the message "this file cannot be erased at this moment" pops up. It doesn't matter how many times you hit the delete key, it just doesn't go away...
