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.
Memories fade.
Take tons of pictures and videos now. Make sure you have storage and backups.
When I was younger I didn’t like taking pictures.
When I got older and had kids I didn’t want to spend all my times taking pictures. We were “building memories” was my excuse.
Now all I have are memories, but those will disappear when I cease to exist. I don’t like that one bit.
