Memories - Idea Generation

"Memory makes us. If we couldn't recall the who, what, where, and when of our everyday lives, we would never be able to manage. We mull over ideas in the present with our short-term (or working) memory, while we store past events and learned meanings in our long-term (episodic or semantic) memory.
What's more, memory is malleable–and it tends to decay with age. So stay sharp by reading our articles on the science of recollection." - https://www.psychologytoday.com/basics/memory
In my opinion, memories are a key to genuine happiness. In the future, I want to be able to look back on my life and think of the exciting moments from my life and have nothing to regret. Without memories, 'we would never be able to manage' and recall happiness.
As memory's 'tend to decay with age', I think that taking photographs at key moments are essential. For my guide to happiness to my future self booklet, I could find and include images from my past, these images store a happy moment for my future self to feel and take advice from. - Looking forward through the past.
