Affective memories

Review:
This work talks about affection, it talks about memories. And, the act of remembering requires no feet, no hands, no eyes. We just need to focus, we just need to go back within ourselves.
This work ultimately becomes a trigger, a great trigger, if we can say so, for our happy return to the incredible moments of the past.
We are yesterday, we are indisputably today (our greatest certainty) and we are also what is yet to come. This movement, not at all linear, will certainly leave a mark on us, it always does. So let there be several stains stamped in our subconscious, stamps of happy and uplifting emotions. For example, the kind look of the mother who idolizes us; the loving embrace of the father that makes us feel safe; the treats of grandparents, eternal grandparents.
However, at any moment we can be active agents in this continuous process of affectively marking someone. Therefore, may we always be the cause of great emotional memories for everyone who crosses our path.
There is no specific time to be nice, kind and understanding. May we always be then, because at this very moment our words and attitudes may be forming different good, uplifting marks on people.
Here is the message of the work: reunion; I meet myself again.
