I don't have many memories

14 Apr, 2025

What surprises my family often it's the fact that I don't have a lot of memories of my childhood, for me, it's weird that they do remember things from kindergarten for example, do you? I don't have any memories of that, maybe just glimpses of some moments but that's all. If it weren't for the photos I wouldn't know what happened at that period of time. I think this applies for all my past, I don't remember much about what happened on elementary, middle or high school.

I do remember certain events but for recent years and the more far I go (my memories aren't detail though), I just see a couple of flashes of moments of my life. I can't recall specific conversations, what I was thinking back then or what I used to do. How did I feel back then? is a question I do myself a lot but I can't seem to have an answer. Music it's what usually helps me to remember more (as I mention in my song memories posts), if I listen what I used to listen years back I could remember what I used to do, even with more details. Besides that I don't have any other way to take my memories back.

I wish I started to write sooner because I notice that since I started I'm able to better record my memories. I thank my passed self for the short time that I was writing a journal because now I can remember what I did and important things that happened. I think that's why I'm more interested in writing right now, it don't only help the present me to get things out, it will also help the future me to remember. So, I recommend you to write if you are like me and tend to forget everything.

I want to remember, I really do.
