Do pictures make us more attached to memories?

Your memories are made up of the perceptions you made of your experiences.
As you perceive your experiences visually, you also retain the pictures that you perceived and as an experience is one of fluid motion, these pictures will also be moving.
Your memories are moving pictures of your perceptions of sight, sound, taste, touch, feeling, emotion and interpretation.
What attaches you to your memories is your own ideas of what the memory means.
Your need for something in the memory is what attaches you to the memory, whether you are attached to your mother’s love or your love for your mother, or your love for anyone or anything else.
You make the attachment by attaching importance to an object emotionally.
The attachment itself comes from a need, a craving, or a cleaving to something that you do not want to be without.
I should also point out that memories are seldom accurate. They are recordings of events along with your embellishments of those events.
Everything you experience you add to with your own ideas of what is happening.
Often, when you are recalling a memory, you embellish it even more which only deepens your attachment.
