Memory


A camera implanted in our brain


Taking snapshots of our life and posting them on your hippocampus home page forever


You can’t delete


You can’t edit


It’s what you’ll have to live with


Memory will always be apart of our actions


The guilt


The love


The hate


They show emotions that we don’t experience enough in our virtual world


Memory can benefit and assist us


Bringing back the good snapshot moments of the person and setting


Memory making us feel prosperous in a broken and poorly illustrated world


Bringing color and life


Instead of a newspaper photograph with a caption


But memory can scar you


Like tornado ripping through the plains leaving its mark on everyone and everything


You can’t delete your snapshot


You can’t delete your account


The only thing you can do is learn from your mistakes and grow


Memory can also go away


The good photos somehow delete


Like you’ve been hacked and hacked and you can’t find the hacker


The pixels become bigger and bigger until you can’t recognize what you’ve taken


The bad photos will stay


Haunting and traumatizing you on what you have done


The pixels become clearer and more visible and soon they’ll be all over your homepage


The only way to keep the good photos is to revisit


The only way you can fade the bad photos is to stop living in the past


Living in guilt


In fear


Because no matter


Memory is what keeps us human


And not a robot
