“‘People aren’t souvenirs,’ I must keep reminding myself. You cannot store them endlessly and expect them to stay the same when you finally revisit them. They will change, as will you. You will look back on a memory with a different pair of eyes, as the years add age to those recollections. You will see the past differently, you will see you differently, and you will finally understand that the moment is to be cherished when it is still alive and in front of you.”
