I was scrolling through some of my pictures from my summer in Calgary before I left which led me to some other photos of old band trips and then into some of my pictures while here at CFOT. I absolutely LOVE looking at pictures and using them as aids to walk down memory lane. I prefer to take pictures of people - candids and posed, but over the summer I did take quite a few scenery shots because it was just so gorgeous there, and while a picture isn't as good as the real thing it will serve as a reminder for me.
We were asked in class the other day something about memories making up yourself...I can't remember the exact phrasing. The discussion that came up in class though was about the fact that our memories and experiences in our past make us who we are. In movies about amnesia they always talk about a fresh start, or rebuilding their lives (keeping in mind it's a movie and I've no doubt real life is different), and that builds on this idea of needing our memories.
My memories are not always happy, and some of them make me cringe with embarrassment,
some of them make me wonder how a situation ever got to that point. However, all of them made me who I am today, and for the most part, I'm okay with that.

Memories are a great thing, I just posted a couple days ago a blog about memories... =)
I too am glad you've decided to keep going but admit from time to time I think the same thing! Am I that interesting? Really? Yeah don't answer that.
Thanks all, and Fred, never doubt that you are interesting
