The idea for this blog was initially different. I wanted to share some of my memories from the past and that's when the lightbulb went off with a totally different idea: my bad relationship with my ability to remember things.
Commonly I tend to think that I have a bad memory because sometimes I forget the things that I have done throughout my life. From one moment to another when I talk to my friends, for example, it's like they ask me what I did when I was younger and then my mind draws a blank. Although I consider that my life has been and is quite boring, it is not that I have not done anything, or maybe I have? It's hard to know for sure, and that thought from time to time runs through my head to the point of making me feel worried at times. This is not precisely because of fear of memory loss but rather because of the thought of not having done enough when I was in the spring of life. Such a thought is a bit dramatic and hysterical considering the fact that I am a young person, I could even say that I have only lived a quarter of what I plan to live in my entire life.
Anyway, sometimes my brain plays tricks on me, that's why now, while I'm writing this blog, I'm considering creating a kind of diary where I write down relevant events. These might be on the ones that have marked my days, whether these events have passed or things that will surely take place in the future.
Tell me about yourself, have you ever had these kinds of thoughts? If the answer is no, please share with me some of your most precious memories from your youth.
In fact, I think from time to time I share the same feeling with you. I believe that there are some things that the brain simply does not consider relevant to remember and yes, it may be due to different factors that it is better not to rack your brain thinking. I consider that every day is an opportunity for new experiences and I think that the idea of starting a blog is a great way to remember every happy or sad thing of your life.
ReplyDeleteYou are not the only one who has a bad memory believe me hehe. In fact, it happens to me very often that I forget things that I did five minutes ago, maybe it's because I get easily distracted, I don't know. I don't think your life is boring, simply as you mention it, they are things or experiences that we have lived that have not been so relevant to us and the brain does not need to store that information.
