Memories

What is the purpose of preserving memories? I suppose that in my own life, I have indulged in them quite frequently. They have been the source of my artistic expression, and have influenced the way that I express myself through writing. However, I understand that this can be a dangerous endeavor. There have been times when re-visiting the past has caused me tremendous suffering. Currently, I am trying to focus on my current state. I am learning, with great difficulty, how to let go of the past. Simply put, attachments lead to suffering. I am breaking away from the past, slowly. I am trying my best to be aware of my thoughts.
