Sometimes I think I would rather just remember it in my head, all those streets and the places I loved. The way it smelled of car exhaust and sweet fruit. The thickness of the heat. The sound of dogs barking in alleyways. That's the Panama I want to hold on to. Because a place can do many things against you, and if it's your home or if it was your home at one time, you still love it. That's how it works. . Cristina Henriquez
About This Quote

The world is filled with beautiful and exciting moments that we will never get to relive again. These moments can be anything from a memory to a place. I believe that we should remember the world we lived in because it has done so much for us and it can do amazing things for us if we let it. We can never go back and live in the Panama of our youth but we can hold onto our love for it and use that love to help us navigate through life's obstacles. The fact that we loved something so much makes us want to hold on to it forever.
