Memory issues, here. I didn’t think I would have bad memory issues until just a while ago, I had a thought on the tip of my nose, but forgot it in seconds and how it took me minutes to recall it. That’s a key sign right there.
Some people have better memory in old age, like it’s unreal sometimes with what some of them can remember. While the average person forgets thoughts in moments.
Loss of imagination, patience, optimism
Now this is what I fear. The gradual loss of the childful optimism and joy. I have already lost some of it, but I’m sure it could be brought back. ^^
When I was a (hungry and impoverished) child, I was optimistic that hunger and poverty could be solved.
As an adult who teaches the study of humans, it is quite clear that the solutions are convenient enough, so will not be attempted.
Hungry children it is.
