All my memories are things I gave away, traded for new days after days after days...

About This Quote

In the movie, "The Breakfast Club," Ally Sheedy said “I just don’t understand you guys. You have all these memories of things you’ve done. And I have all my memories of things I have given away, traded for new days after days after days...” As a teenager, we usually exchange our old memories for new ones. We trade in our old memories for new experiences and a better life.

We trade in our old life for a new one that feels different from what we had before. We trade in the past when it isn’t useful anymore for a future that is bright and colorful and full of hope and opportunity.
