Best Memories Ever

I saw today on  someone's Facebook wall that they were making the best memories ever and while I understand the sentiment I am unsure that it is a wise statement to make. What brings you joy today may bring you misery 403 days from now as in the excitement  and nervousness of a first kiss contrasted with the  recollection of another kiss somewhere down the line and coming with it the realization that it was the last. So, I think,  a wiser statement would be  I am making memories today. After all a memory made  will always be a memory  unless, of course, it is forgotten. Which begs the question. Does a memory made  and then forgotten even constitute a  memory at all?
