How do we know if our memories are real or not? Memory is such an intangible and ephemeral thing that it is almost impossible for someone to prove that it was once real. Some memories may be too painful to recall so they are simply hidden in our subconscious memory only to never be spoken of again. Surely we can ask others for validation, but their memories may also be altered like our own.
The things we do today might be forgotten or may not even exist tomorrow. So what do we do? Do we live each day to its extent with no regrets for we might forget it one day, or do we make the memories today and try our best to remember them?
