Respond to the quote: “Memory is our favorite form of time travel.”

Well memory is not only our favorite form of time travel but also our only form of time travel, so far. I think that this quote is actually very true. I do not think there is not a single person in the world who does not contemplate his or her past at one time or another. I often find myself thinking about my life and how it was 10 or 15 years ago. I often take long trips down memory lane to a time when life was very different for me. As an engineer student at Mason I often get very stressed out with all the work. Many times in the middle of my stress I start thinking about my childhood. I think about my once care free life. I think about the time when homework, was not as long and not as hard as it is today. Many times I found myself in a familiar problem so I take a look back at my memories and I try to figure out how I solved the problem before so that I can manage to solve it in the present.
I think memories bring back unique experiences with in a person’s past. This is the reason why many people at one time or another will think about their past. This is the reason why memory is not only our favorite form of time travel but our only one. It is one thing to see an event of the past, but a different thing to actually relieve it. I think memory is the only way we can relieve our past experiences.
