i think some make believe memories would matter, especially if they helped get us through a rough time... like the way you put this one together...best wishes in the contest! hugs

I think they would matter. I swear some of my memories are make believe.

Thanks for your comments. Memories are likely flawed as time passes and we forget parts, filling in the blanks with what seems to make sense. Regardless, It still matters as much as emotion and thought give to it. The leaves seem to only be linked seasonally, but if they held on forever they certainly wouldn't scatter.
