Stranger with the Most Memories

It’s strange how we let people into our lives or how they find their way into it, and at some point, they leave. Yet even after they’re gone, they continue to live rent-free in our minds. Much of the pain we experience as adults is tied to emotions and to the people we meet along the way, not necessarily the ones we grow up with. These are the connections formed in different stages of life; connections that, when broken, often leave behind a kind of pain that is difficult to explain. We carry memories of these people, especially when we think about moments of deep emotions. That’s why they become “strangers with the most memories"—no longer part of our present, yet still present in our thoughts. 

The way we treat people matters so much. If you cannot make someone’s life better, at the very least, do not leave them worse than you found them. Some pain cannot be put into words, and sometimes that silence becomes overwhelming. It’s part of the reason people withdraw, hesitate to form new bonds, or fear getting close because they are afraid of being hurt again.
It is far better to be remembered as a stranger who left behind good memories than one who caused lasting pain. The truth is, tears carry most of the weight of pain; the sound of crying is only a small part of it. What people feel inside often goes far deeper than what is seen or heard. So be mindful of how you treat others. Do not be the person who leaves others broken. Instead, strive to be the one remembered with kindness—even if, in the end

We never truly forget the people we let into our hearts. We try to forget them but we never truly achieve that. A person's words and actions are their trademark, their legacy—ever imprinted on the sands of time. Not so easily erased or removed or even adjusted after been expressed. So be careful not to say every and anything that comes to mind. Be careful not to act too quickly. Do not see yourself as the right one all the time. Do not think yourself ultimate among your folks. Sometimes, it's better to appear half empty so you can be filled with what others can give. So take heed lest you become too full of yourself. It is better to be remembered as one who was everything good, a stranger with the most memories — gone from our present yet ever present in our thoughts.
