If you are the one who wants to forget some of your past incidents, I can assure you; you can never do that. It works for a certain period of time but one day you will find yourself surrounded by all your old memories!
How I'm so certain? Oh, dear! I have been through this.
I can remember my dreams perfectly. You can say it a blessing but most of the time it feels like a pain to me. Yeah, sometimes I feel blessed when there are good dreams but when it's bad and my memory also keeps that for very long. It's not a good thing.
Our brain is a wired thing. It blocks certain memories, that could hurt us, and then when it thinks 'we are ready now to face the reality; it brings back them.
Surprised?
You can check it. There are different researches on this and it happens mostly if there are some painful memories or trauma.
So what I'm trying to say is, there is no way you can hide or escape your memories. Your brain will bring them back, today or tomorrow.
So what to do?
Face it, accept it and learn to move on.
There was a time when I used to stop acting normally when I dream about my father. It still feels different. It took me many years to accept the fact of losing him. I suffered really hard, I still cry, I still can't talk about him in real life. But I managed to accept the fact. And this acceptance let me get out from the sufferings of the good memories.
Yeah, good memories can also be suffering. You can relate it if you lost someone or some of your loved ones leave you. That's why acceptance is so essential.
I hope you listen to Adam Levine's song memories bring back. If not then, you can listen to it. My words will start to make a lot of sense to you.
I wish you your best life!
