The Sitcom That Is Life

Hmmmm, shall I write an optimistic blog or a depressive one today?

Time goes pretty quickly. In fact, a few seconds have even gone by as you're reading this.
How quick was that?
Life goes by too quickly people always say. Well I've had 19 years of it, and it's seemed to drag for me. But if what older and wiser people say is true, then maybe it's time to start making some more memories.

All we really have is our memories. Everything else, like our clothes, iPod's, all creature comforts will probably have been replaced in 10 years. But our memories will still remain. Unless we get alzheimers. Then we're fucked.

But in all fairness, that is all we have in life. Memories.

So why do we try so hard for our creature comforts?
Why do we have to work for money, to buy physical things that degrade straight away?
Why don't we spend all our hard earned money on experiences? Things that will never degrade, because all they are, are memories.
Little pockets of TV stored up in the iPlayer that is our brain.
But these memories aren't just normal TV programmes.
These are Soaps filled with more emotion and sentiment than any TV programme can even try to recreate.
