MEMORIES

When you get to an age in which you are considered an elderly, that is the time when you have to analyze how satisfying or interesting your life has been. Because of that, memories are really important. Every single thing that you experience is fixed in your memory. Your memories represent you, they show you what your journey in life has been, they show what your personality is or has been. Thanks to that, you can look forward and see what mistakes you made in the past.

Nevertheless, memories can have a different impact depending on the person. On the one hand, there are some people who get really involved with their past, that spend too much time thinking on what they did wrong, instead of focusing on living these last years of their life.

On the other hand, some elderly people look back in time nostalgic and thankful for the life they have had. Because of that, memories are a main element of elderly people’s life, but they can also be a dangerous weapon depending on the impact that they have in each person.
