Does thinking about memories ever make you sad? Memories are the only thing we have that lasts forever. Life and the world is always changing, but at the end of each day we shall always have our memories. Sometimes this is a good thing because when bad things end we would rather be stuck with the memories than to have the tough times continue. But, on the contrary, we would rather have pleasant times go on forever, never ending and becoming memories.
Being more of a "dog person" I never had the desire to see the play Cats, but in high school one of my group projects focused on musicals and Cats was one of them. The song Memories is sung by an aging cat who remembers her lost glorious days of glamor. She ponders how time goes by, making even the present become a memory. She is happy as she relives the memories of her past, but knows they are gone and never to be recaptured. But it is important for us to remember that even as the night ends on certain eras a new day is breaking for us to create memories in. It is nice to reminisce, but we can't get stuck in the past, we should live in the present and dream about the future.
