Memory dress

You know! It’s that dress that you wore to that party where it happened. Whatever it was, that dress (It doesn’t necessarily have to be a dress, it could be anything.) brings memories back, good or bad or maybe both.  If you are sentimental like me, you can’t possible put that particular dress on without thinking about it.  If you are one of the lucky ones, you have good memories that make you smile and be happy that you had that moment. If you are like me you have them both. That dress, indicates the happiness you felt experiencing it and the heartbreak you had to go through loosing it.

It’s crazy how random items bring back so many memories. You know the feeling.  Like when you remember the first movie you went to see with your first boyfriend and the cinema ticket you still keep somewhere in a box after all these years. When you find that first rose he gave you between the pages of a thick old book. When you put on that friendship bracelet that your best friend gave you, what feels like, ages ago. When you walk past that little coffee shop, where you sat with your friends and exchanged gossip in the good old days. And of course the simplest thing that takes you back to Memory Lane, a simple picture. That's all it takes to get all homesick or old-days-sick, just a simple picture of that moment when you felt perfectly happy. But the saddest thing about a photo is the fact that you can never get that particular moment back.

The only way of forgetting what happened in that dress, or what ever your item is, is to put on/take that dress/item, get out and make new memories with it. That is of course if you want to forget the old ones. And if you don't, just take it out of that dusty box in the addict and allow yourself a sentimental look at the good old days, but don't get carried away because there is nothing worse then letting the past interfere with you future.
