We remember certain dates. We should.
I mean, humans constructed time, after all. We are the ones who invented the clock. Same thing goes for the calendar. April 29 is that date because we said so.
But. Back to the remembering. Sometimes, we remember these specific dates because something significant happened on that day.
We had a baby.
We got married.
We lost a parent.
We bought a house.
And so on. And so forth.
Today is one of those days for me.
It always brings back loads of memories from my entire life. This day fills me up with wonder, questions, and the unknown.
Sometimes, it makes me pretty sad. And in other moments of this day, I feel a little happy.
That is how remembering goes.
Our lives are full of moments.
But the one right now is all we feel.
