Shaped

There are many life experiences that we think 'oh I'm going to look back on this and remember exactly how I felt' yet years later, I only have a handful of memories I like to return to. However something small can happen and a rush of a past moment will fill your senses and remind you of how you've been shaped by them all. And how numerous they were ranging from the awkward regret of a badly worded apology to the buzzing high of new loves. 

I often ponder how important it is to remember them all or does our current consciousness exist because of them. So we don't need to remember them individually because we are already moulded by their outcomes? 

Self reflection is something we are often criticized for and while I do 'think too much' I hope that it makes me a more deliberate and grateful person. 

So I'm going to attempt to journey through the life experiences I've had that I believe have shaped me into who I am today, in the hope I can grow, change, improve and continue to be the person I want to be.
