It is curious how we keep our memories. It seems like an automatic mechanism that decides by itself to remember or to forget. By an impulse or a memento we´d go to the past , to that mental and physical state but maybe it is not always nice to remember.
How do we value our memories?
Welcome to the auction** of mementos, memories!

* A memento is a keepsake or souvenir of remembrance.
**An auction is a process of buying and selling goods or services by offering them up for bid, taking bids, and then selling the item to the highest bidder. In economic theory, an auction may refer to any mechanism or set of trading rules for exchange. The word "auction" is derived from the Latin augēre, which means "to increase" or "augment".”
