Jodi PicoultMemories aren't stored in the heart or the head or even the soul, if you ask me, but in the spaces between any given two people.
About This Quote
Everyone has experienced the sinking feeling that comes when you feel like you can’t remember who someone is and what they look like. The fact of the matter is that we all have a memory bank and it is our job to make sure that our memories are organized properly. If we let them become disorganized, it can be a major cause of depression and anxiety. In order for memories to stay intact, though, they must be made to last.
One technique for keeping memories alive is by taking photos or keeping scrapbooks to keep track of the details. Another way to make sure that your memories are permanent is to talk about them with someone else. This will help prevent your memory from fading away and allow it to be a part of a discussion between two people.
