The things we buy will eventually break or become obsolete but a memory can bring us a lifetime of happiness. Things will never stay the same but we can be happy that they happened. You don't have to spend a lot of money on things to have a good time, you just need to figure out how to have a good time. That usually means just being present in the moment and bringing energy to it. 

If you build the right type of memories, you won’t want to trade them for anything else in the world. They made you into the person you are today and it’s something that can bring a smile to your face. And because that thing ended, now you have a great memory that you can draw on. In life, you should strive to have as many good memories as possible because when you're on your deathbed, those will be the last things you will take with you.
