Event Horizons & Reflecting on one's past

One looks into the past for many reasons. Sometimes, it’s for no obvious reason or motivation. We are always in search for deeper meaning of our lives and existence. Looking back or forward is sometimes accidental and when that happens or experienced by us, we feel strange and many times, blessing. For one thing, it proves that we are human not materials. We have more than atoms and material construction.

 Memory

Memory,

You must be my enemy.

Often, you let me down.

You bring me pains.

Memory,

You are heartless.

Sometimes, you make me cry.

You are cruel.

Memory,

You are my friend.

Sometimes, you bring me joy and laughter.

You bring me strength.

Memory,

You are following me,

Or I am following you?

You follow me like my shadow.

Memory,

Who are you?
