Memories are bullets. Some whiz by and only spook you. Others tear you open and leave you in pieces.

About This Quote

Memories are bullets. Some whiz by and only spook you. Others tear you open and leave you in pieces. I’m sure we’ve all encountered the situation where we keep something so well buried and so far away from our easy access that we never think it will come back to haunt us. However, this is not always the case.

Sometimes, if we take the time to remember the good times we’ve had, we can experience a miracle of sorts. The memories bring us back to our younger days and remind us of all the good things that happened to us. Rather than cause us grief, they actually make us feel better and allow us to live life more fully.
