For context: I’m a young adult, I don’t think I have any serious brain issues yet.
But I’ve recently been just trying to remember the past and although its kinda tragic, there are very interesting moments and I want to keep these memories forever.
But brains aren’t perfect, and I’m just so scared.
Even re-reading the events from a journal woudn’t exactly be the same as remembering it.
Idk, I’m kinda just obsessed with some memories for some reason. Don’t wanna let go of it. Having this “backstory” (for lack of a better term), is what drives me forward, without those memories, like if I get a concussion and forgot everything, I wouldn’t really be… well… “me” anymore, and the thought of that is terrifying.
Hi. Apparantly the “Yesterday-Me” made this post. What an intetedting post, this “Yesterday-Me” person seems like a very smart person, unfortunately his reign has ended, and it’s time for MY REIGN (for the rest of this day).
And it’s time to make pineapple pizzas illegal!! Lol. I wouldn’t worry so much about your memories. Other folks in here have suggested some good methods to keep track of things. Journaling, photography, art, these are all great ways to keep track of your memories! I used to write about my dreams after I had them so I’d remember and what surprised me was how I had completely forgotten them when I reread my journal.
It was like I reading something written by someone else entirely!
