sometimes i have such a good time, that i wish that time could stop right there-

so that the image/my memory of things/people would stay like that forever, it would be beautiful, it would be amazing, it would be lasting, it would be perfect.

because eventually some how some way or another, sometimes, the newer experiences that you have at those places/ with those people would never meet the expectations set by that one perfect experience, and eventually you would start to feel disappointed with how the food no longer tastes awesome, at how the place no longer looks the same, at how you can no longer hit it off with that person; newer, less satisfying memories would take their place and things would no longer be perfect as at that exact moment when you first felt them to be.

eventually as you find out more- the more times you visit a place, the more times you eat something, the more you talk to/hear about a person, the more potential 'bad' memories or horrid things you attain, and it starts to fill you with a sense of doubt and disappointment.

i don't want to know if that place is demolished, or if the standard of the food has dropped, or if there are loads of rumors/bad things spreading about that person and that person is not as awesome as i thought the person to be;

i don't want to forget, what the place looks like at the golden hour, or how a bowl of that noodle smells like, or what i felt like, when someone smiled at me-

at that exact moment,

when everything was perfect-

i just wish that things would be perfect in my mind forever.

--------------------------------------------

it's quite stupid but i actually do think that if you don't see a person frequent enough you'd (sooner or later) forget his face and so i (used to) try very hard to practise in my mind, to visualize the person's face so i wouldn't forget.

Hell, i even try to remember the person's mannerisms, in hope that the next time we meet, things would be as awesome as before, and it wouldn't be as awkward as if i was meeting a new person.

i don't know for sure if it works,

but it doesn't stop me from trying.
