_{Note: The first 1:31 mins is still an introduction, you may want to forward to listen to the song, or better still enjoy my cool voice, hahaha...}

Happy Weekend to the Hive Open Mic community and the whole Hivian. It is with my pleasure coming again with another entry to the week's theme titled "Memories" which was chosen by @rukkie. This is sure a beautiful theme and when I saw it during the week, the first song that came to my mind was Memories by Maroon 5. I didn't have to stress myself as most of the songs I have presented here and this is because it is one song I normally sing anytime I feel alone and reminisce on old memories of friends and families.

When we talk about memories, we talk about things we have done with others in the past or what has happened to us and we decided to create a memory out of it. Whether it's a good or bad one, we still feel that flashback especially when something triggers our minds and brains to remember such past incidents. There are friends we have played with, joked with, laughed with etc but are not with us today. Going through our phone galleries, their pictures bring back lots of memories attached to them and us.

In my tribe, they say 20 children cannot play for 20 years and that is the truth. This is why it is important to always create good memories and not bad ones wherever we go so that later in the future while remembering them, it brings happiness to us knowing how fun things were in the past. We will never be together forever and so, those flashbacks will always come to us.

So also with the ones we have lost to death. That memory is always a painful one because when we are reminded of them, we wish they could come back to us but it is not possible. I always miss my mom because of so many memories we have shared. She was my friend and everything to me. We laughed, she scolded me, and she gets angry, but these things are what make me keep missing her the more. In all, there were good and bad memories we made together. That is life! We make memories.

I believe everyone here has made lots of memories on Hive. Some of our friends have left this blockchain; some, to look for more ways to make money, because they feel Hive isn't giving them what they wanted while some have died leaving us to keep wishing they were still alive especially when you have someone who would always comment on your posts but not seeing them again would bring back memories. We make memories, either good or bad as they never leave us alone. Memories are like a shadow that keeps following us everywhere we go. We can decide to make the best memories with friends and families so that in the end, we won't keep wallowing in self-pity, not doing what we ought to have done.

_{I hope you enjoy this cover song of mine and keep flashing back to good old memories.}

Thanks for your time on my blog.
