When we grow up and reach adulthood, it is normal, sometimes, whether by chance or for plausible reasons, to abandon who we were during childhood or during who we were during adolescence, maybe because we must seek maturity or maybe we have made wrong choices along the way, Depending on how your journey to adulthood went, your life can be seen from different perspectives. Tomorrow you may be alone, tomorrow you may find love, tomorrow you may find death, tomorrow you may find the happiness of living... In this we only have one certainty... with absolute certainty we will abandon something, because growth demands itthis of us. It is cruel to give up the sweet moments in someone's company during childhood, it is sad to drop out of school when we reach adolescence, It's heartbreaking, painful, to leave a friend, or a/one girlfriend/boyfriend after so much time together. But sometimes, it's necessary for us to grow, and it's inevitable for us to try to stop it. Time runs out, and all that's left is a garden of memories, from different times, with different feelings...Growth sometimes exhausts our potential to think or it can also have the opposite effect, taking away or adding our potential, Emotions are easier to control in adulthood but there are still times when they slip from our mind and overflow to say that we need to remember good times of what we were and that from now on we will be someone who will experience new things.

"Ah... How relaxing it was when I just played with my friends and went to school."
"It was so good when I loved and didn't have to think too much"
"Maybe I miss something or someone, but who cares."
"Today I saw a childhood friend that I hadn't seen for a long time, I wanted to greet that person, but I couldn't"
"My routine is the same, and that's just something that even if I try to change now, I feel like it's too late."
"What is happiness? What am I? Is my purpose...?"

With only 17 minutes in length, with no dialogue, and a silent beginning that gradually creates sound, "garden of remembrance" places the viewer in the presence of a girl that at first glance seems to just be repeating a common routine, where the simple sound of an alarm is what makes her find the strength to get up. The girl remembers good times that are gone while she is faced with longing, her feelings overflow and the world begins to become nostalgic, colorful, happy, sad, exciting...there are so many emotions that all she wants when remembering the memories is just to hold on to them so they don't run away, maybe because she's lonely, or maybe because she needs those memories for herself that she was happy. The sound of the guitar along with the serene voice of the song played in the episode exalts the nostalgia of someone who has already passed away, feelings hide in every corner of the room, in the living room, in the bedroom, in the bathroom, in the kitchen, maybe the girl just wants to go back in time or maybe she needs to give up who she is and who she once was, feeling exhausted but perhaps satisfied because for her the process has reached where she is, in its adult phase, it was beautiful but unfortunately it is fleeting and distressing...

Garden of Memories presents the viewer with visuals that always try to represent the movement of everything, as that girl's life is very stagnant at the moment, and only the memories move her. The lack of speech and the excess of emojis represent feelings that we cannot express, but that are still in our minds. The soundtrack is serene and sometimes a little chaotic, depending on the moment, but only one thing is certain, the garden of memories will disappear from the moment we take a step forward and discover that we can make new gardens of memories.

I wonder now: did that girl find what she wanted? Or was the change of leaving that house just a feeling that: "I must abandon this to move forward and evolve"...I don't know... I just know that she was happy and maybe we just need to overcome the feeling of longing, maybe this is the real step towards our evolution...
