I talked myself out of going to see a band play tonight--I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that.
Do you ever make weird mistakes? For example, I will suddenly forget how to do something, or where I am stuff like that. I have a couple of vivid memories from childhood--once I forgot my name in grade school, and another time--also in grade school--I forgot how to read. I was in church singing a hymn, and everything looked like garbedly-gook.
I've been forgetting strange things lately--and always just for a flash. At the office today, I forgot something--I don't remember what it was now, but I remember thinking I should keep it to myself and try not to freak out.
Speaking of memory, I might see if I can do my paper on PTSD and memory pills. Scientists have invented some pill that lessens the effect of PTSD by erasing the memory of the traumatic event, but the FDA will not approve it for use. I have done a very tiny bit of reading on PTSD, and through my reading and personal experiences with PTSD, I can tell you that PTSD screws with your memory anyway, so I say, why not reap the benefits of memory loss by actively deciding which memories to keep?
It does remind me of that movie Sunshine eternal something or another. I couldn't sit through the entire movie--not that it was bad, it just wasn't the movie for me. I prefer to laugh rather than feel the pain of a troubled relationship---after all, I can do that any day of the week. After writing that, I realize that I have always been 1/2 of a troubled relationship for as long as my memory has record. I wonder if this is true of most people. Maybe not since childhood, but I would bet most adults have at least one stinker relationship they are a part of, right?
