''I wondered if a memory is something you have or something you’ve lost.'' - Woody Allen

Do we actually know the answer to this? A memory is obviously something that’s in the past, but can we say that a particular moment from the past that we happen to remember is something that is still a part of our lives? Or is it just the time that used to be our present, but at this moment is something long gone and insignificant for our current present? 

I love the concept of memorizing really important stuff that happens to us along the way, but given the fact that we will eventually forget most of the things that we’ve been through, it seems foolish to think that it is something that we have. On the other hand, a certain situation that happened in the past can definitely change who we are as a person, so maybe we do have those memories in form of new personality traits. I think it’s somewhat scary thinking that a memory is something that we’ve lost because it gives it such a tragic sound and remembering good things most definitely should not be tragic.
Maybe my split opinions could agree that we have memories, but we don't have those moments anymore.

What are your thoughts on the subject? Do you think that once something is a memory it is lost forever or are you of the thought that if you remember something, you still have it? Or do you just this that I make absolutely no sense? Let me know in the comments.
