A

Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return

from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day’s events, feelings, and

impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by

way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever

recorded

on

paper.

After

all,

isn’t

accumulating

memories

a

way

of

preserving

the

past?

When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley,

well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording

every incident, name

and place

I

came across.

I felt proud to

be spending my

time

productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my

travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was

clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening

behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my pen…

At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the

few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All

I

remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down

in my diary.

Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or

feeling.

I

still

love

to

record

ideas

and

quotations

that

strike

me

in

books,

or

observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often

—

only

of

objects

I

find

really

beautiful.

I’m

no

longer

blindly

satisfied

with

having

something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I

stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.

I don’t want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes.

Maybe I won’t have as many exact representations of people and places

；

maybe I’ll

forget certain facts, but at least

the experiences will always remain inside me. I don’t

live to make memories

—

I just live, and the memories form themselves.
