Sediment of memory. Human memory is selective: it washes away something like water, and leaves something at the very bottom, turning it into an unchanging part of our inner world. The first disappointments, losses, moments of happiness - all this shapes us, even if we are not aware of it. This sediment sometimes floats to the surface - in a dream, in random thoughts, in familiar smells and sounds.
Emotions that do not disappear. Some feelings are too deep to disappear without a trace. Sadness, longing, love, fear - all of them can be muffled by time, but do not dissolve completely. Even when it seems we have forgotten, a single reminder is enough to make the past speak again. What to do with this sediment? The sediment at the bottom of the heart is not always bad. It is our experience, our history, our strength. The important thing is not to dwell on it, not to let it become a burden, but to use it as a foundation for growth. Recognizing your past and your true emotions helps you move forward with greater wisdom and understanding. Perhaps this is the point: not to try to get rid of the sediment, but to learn to see it as a reflection of who we have become. Maria.
