While going through old memories and photographs, it can be a pleasure to remember lost loved ones, and have a piece of their lives through their social media posts. But, we must always remember to forget the past, in the sense that it impairs our ability to live and love and enjoy the present. Every time I find myself smiling, or frowning, or crying, or laughing about something in my past, I look at the rings on my fingers, both of which are inscribed “Memento Mori”. We will die, and others may or may not remember us. My wish for them is that they remember to forget me, and live happily each day.
“Forget past mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything except what you’re going to do now and do it.”
