CoT:
I love memories. But memory can be cruel if left unchallenged. Memory is often our only connection to who we used to be. Painful or passionate, surreal or sublime, we cherish those little rocks of peak experience, polishing them with the ever-smoothing touch of recycled proxy living. In so doing—like pagans praying to a sculpted mud figure—we make of our memories the gods which judge our current lives. Nevertheless, we must take care not to let the bliss of the present fade when compared to supposedly better days. We’re happy, sure, but were we more happy then? If we let it, memory can make shadows of the now, as nothing can match the buttressed legends of our past. Do not let memory chase you. Enjoy memories, yes, but don’t be a slave to who you wish you once had been. Those memories aren’t alive. You are. – Brandon Sanderson, Tress and the Emerald Sea
