Memory

So I have noticed that sometimes you get lost in the things that don't matter. By doing so it seems one starts to become forgetful and memory loss becomes another part of an endless cycle. The cycle that many people want to break including myself. Why do we focus on cars, houses, music, TV, movies, and endless other things that just don't. Things that we will remember for a long time, but things that will only make our memories fade. These things take us away from the life experience that we want to do and remember most. Like spending time with our families, close friends, traveling and educating ourselves. So where am I going with this thought you ask? I'm getting at the idea that we need to do what is going to build us as a human being. Things that will define us, strengthen our memory, and mean something more than not being bored.
