Tattoo... is everything correct ?

Hello,
I'm from germany and I would like to have a tattoo with the following sentence :

' Life means to say goodbye cause in the end all you really have is memories .'

Now i would like to ask if there are any mistakes in this sentence ?
Should I say ' are memories' or ' is memories' ?
Ans have you any suggestions for a different formulation of this sentence ?

Thank you for helping me =)

In my opinion, you can use either one.

You're saying that two things are the same thing. That's an "equative sentence".
