# Keep memories of people

Main
 - A wise person I know figured out that one of the keys to happiness is to simply preserve positive memories you've had with others and revisit them later on.
 - I wish I took this advice more seriously. I still smile when I remember some of the people I met while travelling or some of the interactions I had. Why one person washes their shoes everyday. Why another person watches cartoons. Why someone else is disappointed they couldn't travel to Europe. These dating app scammers in Vietnam, it was funny when I called her out to her face lol. Funny and a bit sad. Someone who wanted to meet but couldn't. That time I restarted smoking cigarettes (bad idea) and what was the trigger.
 - Why does my brain only go still at 2:30 am in the morning?
 - Otherwise it's just endless pressure, it's like sitting on a bomb lol. Like imagine the atom bomb from Oppenheimer but it is placed literally under my bed. And there's a deadline, you have 5 years to defuse it or the bomb goes off. So I spend everyday on my computer frantically studying bomb defusal.
