You have more nice memories or unpleasant memories?

I say however that all memories are pleasant, at least for me. And when I think of the past, i smile. Even the moments when I wanted to go faster, now I remember smiling, and I'm was not so difficult as it seems then. I am more sad because of memories which currently looks nice, and now that we are to analyze, observe that in fact were just so beautiful, but that when I was happy, I do not regret. Everything was good or bad, made me as now. Past each is represented by thousands of worm memories and always ready to delight those around us. We live through our memories long gone, taking refuge in our past when we are vulnerable and need to feel safe. what do you think about memories? Are good? are bad? Or are just memories now?in present?

i'll say 50/50. i have some past that i look at it with a smile and some i look at it as a lesson in life. like you i do not regret, i keep everything and look back every once in a while to see what i have done and achieved and to see how well i am as a person before and now. the present is important for this present will also be a good view of my past

It is nice to have good memory's. But, without unpleasant memories, we would not be able to improve ourselves in the future. We all learn from our mistakes. The unpleasant memory's are our teachers. They tell us that things can be better. We can be happy and change the future for the better when we learn from the past.

I definitely have more pleasant memories. The not so good ones tend to fade away and I come away having a happy life.

We all have our past with memories of all sorts: more or less pleasant. The fact that these are childhood memories, makes them, the majority good and nice memories. Years pass, we age and our memory store is filled more and more. Personality and our way of being are determined by these memories. Many of joy, anger, our fits of anger or our satisfaction, are closely related to how we remember the relationships and experiences past. There should be a time in your personal life the last to be freed. Make sure you have a true friend with you .

As far as I am concerned, I think my memoties are not so good at present. I usually just forget the things which has been told a second. I do not want to forget them at all. But actually , I forget them absolutely. So I just need to write the things on the note book in case that I can remember them.

Memories are something which makes to turn back the past with happiness or sad. But the best part is i dont remember much of bad memories. Well i can say those are not simply memories, they are something makes us long for past or makes us to act in present to achieve that. Its a lesson or inspiration to go further at present!

Hi, Ice! I've managed to put the bad memories behind me, most of the time. I cherish the good memories.

hi icesmile I have a ton of good memories and some very bad memories but I think all of them have taught me a lot. For one thing I learned that a parent who molested a child usually is treat better than the child. so I do not have any sympathy for the child molester at all.but most of my memories center around my deceased husband and my adult son, and they are mostly happy ones too. jewels in my mind.But memories are not always good to live in as we are in the present and should be centered in the present.

I have a balance memories and if i am going to quantified between my experience between bad and good. I have most bad memories during my younger days than in becoming adults since when i am still young i could not yet decide for myself and depend most of the time to older person so most of the times my memories associated with childhood is full of restrain not totally free since I have objection but could not fully decide on my likes while as an adults i could say that i have a balance between the two aspects since I could not be extremely happy or sad at the same times as I tend to sort having a balance between the two.

Well, there are actually some memories that could probably disturb me, in case I recall them. But majority of the memories are related to good events that happened in my life. People often try to forget the bad memories and go on with their lives, that's what I do too. But like you said, without experiencing these negative things we wouldn't be the ones we are now.

Many spend their time reading books while they need to relax. I will sit with my memories and relive them as I have enough of good memories which I have stored. Bad memories will only disturb ones mind and it is best they are consigned to the flames never to be brought up unless to learn a lesson from them.

I have approximately equal number of both memories. But I tend to remember the unpleasant ones more because they usually give more impacts in my life. The pleasant ones are normally moderate in effects so I don't think about them often. But overall, having memories is good. You don't want to forget your partner's birthday, or your wedding anniversary day, do you? :)
