Memories can change. Looking back on some things with the life experience I have now takes some of the sting and pain out of them.

People change, but memories don't.

People sometimes don't change, just how we see them does.

People change, but memories don't.

You've got that a bit backwards.

Mammaries,
Like the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored mammaries
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures,
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? could we?
Mammaries , may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember...
The way we were...
The way we were...

People don't change. If you are an asshole when you are 20, you'll be an asshole when you're 60.

What if you are sweet and innocent at 20?

 

[JohnnySavage]

What if you are sweet and innocent at 20?

Then you will be a doormat at 40

 

[parodyluvr75]

Then you will be a doormat at 40

That's gloomy.

How about wild and untamed at 20?

People change, but memories don't.

It could be the other way around: Memories change, but people don't.

But both statements are flawed.

Your memory can be selective, omitting the unpleasant detail or even completely erasing things you don't want to remember.

People can develop, grow out of attitudes they had when young, learn new skills including how to conduct relationships. But when you meet people you knew a long time ago, perhaps at a school reunion, both of you tend to revert to the attitudes you had then. Neither of you know who that person is now, only what you were.

Even History changes according to the perceptions of the historian.

I choose to remember the great things about my former girlfriends and to forget or minimise the arguments and differences which no longer matter. Who now cares that she hated a movie I took her to see? It was a crap movie anyway.
