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.
I remember some things kinda clearly because they had a big impact on me. It was something that was unfair, I seriously misunderstood something, I was afraid or something else. I used to actively recall my life every now and then but haven’t done it in the last decade.
Some people do journal though so they can read the entries, get the vibes and crank out a biography story by going over context, delivering the story, then aftermath thoughts.
