La Memoria

La Memoria
By Amir Farhan

Hi there peeps! Its me, Amir Farhan. So, at this moment that you're reading, I'm going to tell you guys about my earliest memories that I could remember. But before that, lets refer to the novel The Secret Life of Bees on Lily remembering her earliest memories when she was four. She remembered about her mother's death and some sort of a gun sound. "BANG!". Lets see, how could she remembered that event even though she's still so young? Well, it is because that incident had changed her life and her status as an orphan. 

Research shows that the earliest memories that a child could remembers starting from three to four years old. In special cases, there are some who could remember earlier than that but these memories will decline as they get older. Thus, the inability of adults to retrieve episodic memories is called childhood amnesia. Okay, done giving facts. Now, lets continue on my story.

I'm going to share with you guys my earliest memory that I could remember. Its kind of embarrassing but its fine as I was only four during that time. So, for your information, I hate going to the nursery. I wanna stay with my mom at her workplace but she won't let me. She still sends me to the nursery. As we arrived there, I refuse to get out of the car. My mom pulled me out but I used my full strength to not letting it happened. Do you guys know what did my mom do next? She called my teacher to help her pulling me out of the car. And do you guys know what I did? I ran to the back seat of the car as soon as possible. Then, my mom open both of the back door, left and right. Both of the sides are secured with my mom and my teacher standing there, waiting to catch me. I got nowhere to go. I'm completely stuck. My teacher managed to pull me out even though I keep on struggling to get free. At that moment, I knew that I had lose against them. Yep, 1-0. Soon as I grew bigger, my mom would tell me the same story because she thinks its funny. Are you kidding me? Its HILARIOUS. Man I feel so embarrassed thinking about that.

These sort of memories will faded sooner or later. We will get older and go through more challenging future as time passed by. As Haruki Murakami said, "No matter how much suffering you went through, you never wanted to let go of these memories".
