Memories are like a river because some rivers are short and some last forever then they go into something bigger then just a river or just a memory. There are always lots of rivers in the world and there will always be memories in your head. Animals depend of rivers for survival and help, and we go to our memories to get us through tough times. Both rivers and memories flow. They are all diverse. Both can have bends and twists and ups and downs. Every river is unique just like every memory is different.
