I was the one who made me tremble, even if only once in my life, I choose who caused a vibration in my body and, above all, in my soul, I am one of those chills that I will never forget, that made me feel alive.
People always say, in that sense, that we are made of small stories that we live every day and that, when they add up, they form our own history, yet I think we are made of chills: what makes us feel in the world. It is precisely what comes and what drives us, that allows us to dream and realize this dream.
- The truth is that if we look at a moment within ourselves.
- We will discover everything I talk about: we will see people.
- We will feel caresses and smiles.
- We will dry back the tears.
- We evoke small details that make us a little bigger.
“When did so many moments be put in the drawer?
But you wanted to be remembered and here it’s dusty, abandoned and with an old smile on crumpled paper?
When you touch the souvenir box, are it the memories that will bother you?
-Andrés Castuera Micher-
If we continue to get lost, we will discover a world of memories that will return, as if we were going back in time, in this way we will find everything that has entered our lives and remained forever, in the form of touches, smells, meanings.
And all this will remain here until the day of our death: it will accompany us as our little marks of identity, like the chills that made us feel part of the time.
We all know that when it comes to forgetting and remembering, our mind decides, it’s like there’s room for everything we can live, but we just have to select what we want to keep.
However, our selective memory does all the work on its own, how many times have you tried to remember the name, phone number or anything else on a day-to-day life?Normally you’ve forgotten, but you can still remember the first few times they led you to respond to the world like you’ve never done before.
It’s all chills. Minutes, seconds, hours, days, weeks, months that will never happen again or that can be repeated every time we close our eyes and return, are memories full of sensations and feelings.
It is true that we live by what we remember, but we also live on what we are able to win again and become a memory. Our gift should be the constant search for things that make us vibrate.
We can leave past memories in the past: it’s not about getting rid of them, it’s about creating new memories that complement the ones we already have, we can’t let the book run out sooner, but you have to know how to use it. all your pages and write as much as we can.
And when the chills come, let them come, invade you and fill you, don’t ask questions if they make you happy, you have life to feel it, never counter an emotion. Don’t ignore it. I don’t want to run away from him, because that’s never the answer.
