There is no such thing as a past or a future, there are only memories and an imagination.
we are the universe experiencing itself, all things have happened before.
As vivid and clear this exact moment in your life is, in as little as a year it won't even be a memory.
Almost all of your life is a memory except for now.
Humans can reverse time, but lose their memory in process.
If you went back in time and met your past self you'd have two memories about that
The reason we do anything and everything in life, is to acquire happy memories
The reason we go to school, get a job, work, buy nice things, go on vacations, strive to earn lots of money. Is so we can enjoy our short time here on earth by accumulating happy memories that can be kept with you. Because although we are living in the moment, it will eventually be the past and everyone wants to be able to look back at theirs and be able to enjoy the times that they've had.
Not really. We do anything and everything to experience the moment, to feel alive. If we did things just to have good memories than nothing would matter while you're doing the activity. It would just matter after you were done with it. The reason we do things is to have fun and live in the moment. Memories are just an after effect of what you did.
Nobody will remember your memories
When you die, every memory you've ever had will be gone. The only thing people will remember about you is what you have done.
Once you die, all your memories will be forgotten.
"When an old person dies, a library burns down."
Going on a vacation is just paying for memories
Each one of us will someday be a memory. One day you won't even be a memory, and then even that memory will be forgotten. It will be as if we had come from nothing and gone back to nothing. So what do you got to lose? Nothing.
Are we currently playing back our memories in a flashback before we die?
My entire life is just a memory, except for the exact second I'm living in
Memories are like pieces of time trapped in your head.
Eventually everyone that is alive today will die, and nobody will have any actual memories of what happened today or before today, it will only be what we've written down or stored that will tell anyone what has happened.
When I die, my memory will live on with people who will eventually die. They say you die two deaths. One the physical, the second when the last person you knew forgets you.
"How many people from the 17th Century can you name? The 13th Century? The 7th Century BC? So even if you were the most brilliant person in all of the 7th Century BC, nobody will remember you 2700 years after the fact. You might as well have never lived!"
Every scenario has already happened before.
No one is ever going to remember your memories. Your unique experiences will die with you.
Our life is built from memories. Most of us want to live after death, but given how much we learn & forget, we die many times and become different people in one lifetime.
Within three generations, anyone of us who hasn't become somehow famous will be forgotten, even by our own families. Here's a challenge to prove it. (self.Showerthoughts)

You can place a safe bet about it with your drinking buddies: ask them their parents first name. Easy answer, two names.
Then ask them their grandparents first names. Four names, almost everybody should know them. Almost. Then, ask them their great-grandparents names. Eight names, that is.
Try it yourself, the best that anybody can usually come up with at this stage is two-three names, except obviously particular cases of ones who have many famous or well-known ancestors.
Conclusion (a standard age statistical example): if I die now at 80, and have a 50 y.o. son, and a 20 y.o. grandson, it's very likely that my great-grandson who will be born ten years from now will never know my name. 50 years after my death, when my grandson - the last to remember me - will die, even in my family the memory of me will be gone. Merry christmas to all.
Anything you or anyone else will do means nothing, because on grand scale of things it doesn't change a thing. We will all be a forgotten memory and the universe will carry on.
Well that is if you only consider two rather boring variables, time and size. Yes the universe is huge and yes eternity is long but thats just about it. Stars are born, stars die, who gives a shit. Big bang happens, heat death happens, could you care less? No thinking, no feeling no creativity no nothing. All in all the universe is boring and insignificant compared to riches of a human life.
My memories are third person; I never remember my first person perspective, but I remember a third person view of what happened.
Immortality in nothingness would create another universe inside your head as the mind loses track of time and devolves into full blown eternal hallucination
New memories would be created as a result of your hallucination. Characters would be created based on your memories and those characters interactions with eachother would spawn new characters.
A society and populace would essentially be procedurally generated in your head
What if we only live through our memories, and never live in the present?
If we had no memory of anything, the past would not exist.
If everyone on Earth died or disappeared simultaneously, all human accomplishments and memories would mean nothing.
You can virtually tour your past
If someone was erased from everyone's memory, and all records of them destroyed, you wouldn't know. You're best friend could disappear one day and you'd never remember you had said friend.
To generations millions of years from now, we'll be yet another memory of a lost generation of ape-like people.
Everything that we do is simply just living through a memory.
Technically, we do. Nerve conduction is fast, but not instantaneous, so everything you perceive as "now" is actually a few milliseconds in the past. You can never truly experience "the present."
We forget most of the moments of our own lives as we live them and lose all our memories when we die. Relative to the total amount of experiences that happen everyday, almost nothing is remembered.
Enter the Void
You will probably forget today pretty soon
In a month, week or shorter amount of time, you will forget the finer details of events that occurred today. Unless something important happens to you, you will forget the details of what you did and in what order you did them. You will probably be able to guess close enough, but if your day is routine like mine, I will forget this day ever happened 2 weeks from now.
Because I made this post, I will probably automatically try to retain these details. Over time, the memory will become less clear. I can remember last Wednesday, but not the one before that.
We are all pieces of the universe experiencing ourselves within ourselves.

What if everyone has a melody that unlocks their earliest memories?
We all live in our own 1.13 liter-sized pools of memories and experiences. That's all we keep through our lives, in the form of electricity. Deep down, we are all made of energy.
You are living in your mind.
Out of all the statistical possibilities of this existence, you exist. The chances of this are infinitesimally small. Life is a great happenstance; take what you have and make do. Make memories with friends. Walk in the rain or watch the sunset.
In short-- Live life. What you have today you might not have tomorrow. Live and love to the best of your capability.
