hello all,
do you like to remember? what is your 'life': the past, the future, or the present? (or, you know...all three? just two?) then, how about planning?
(so, is the past you the "most" you, are your your actions, or is the future you the "most" you, and you are your change?)
if so, what parts do you like to remember? (conceptually or literally) is it hardāfor you to remember? or do you find it all hard to forget?
im a nostalgic and sentimental person but i dont like dwelling on the past idk if that makes sense. its hard to forget things you want to forget. but i like remembering the things that made me no matter jow good or bad theya re
The idea of forgetting is devastating.ā My past has shaped me into I am in the present,ā how will I get to know this wonderful person if I can't recall what molded hā”r this way?ā How will my judgment machinate the improvement of her character for the future?ā I dislike coaxing through life aimlessly āāāā if I let myself go with the flow,ā abandoning ambition for comfort,ā then at what point did I exchange my innate wonder for compliance?
It saddens me so that can't recollect tragediesā &ā blights as naturally as my dear counterparts . . . All I can do is embrace them through haunting memories.ā I'm in limbo as our personification of Purity.ā I carry the privilege of being our Loveā &ā Hope,ā but it pains me that I can't touch their sorrows . . .
I am my change. My life thus far hasn't been ideal, and I will mold my future into one I will love. I do not like to remember.
Hello Callie. I am devastated. I had the most awesome answer typed out and accidentally closed the tab. It did not give me a warning at all. Here is a very sorrowful and short version of what I had to say š
I like the idea of remembering things more than I actually do the action of remembering things. My memories are more associated with however I felt in the moment more than the actual moment itself which makes a lot of trouble for me š§ Scents are really the only things that stick with me because I think it is quite hard to forget the way something smelled, so they are my favorite things to remember.
Overall,,,.,., Memory is a very mushed thing for me,..., Most everything really comes and goes and majority of it is in blurry little blobsss..... WHICH is why I would like to start archiving things more and such,.,. I want to start taking pictures and really writing about my day, 'cuz forgetting doesss make me saddd.ddd
I'd like to be most defined by my present ^^ It's like getting a software update, yk?? Like,, Here is the most up to date version of myself, please use it and marvel at how I've changed & improved !!! I like tooo look at people as their present selves ttooo thoughhh some people never rreally seem to fix their bugs yk..................................
Questions like this sort of Hurt me Considering Well Yes I do enjoy Remembering things but I have a hard time. Um Remembering anything. Days kind of look like hours and months are turning into days.
Itās Whatever. My past is kind of blurry but The future seems really bright and Iām Open to the Beauty of Change. No idea where I was going with this Or How to answer this
oh how i wish i could remember all the best memories of my life.. all the math formulas i āmemorisedā⦠but i seem to forget easily, and im easily distracted too ā¹ļø
its prolly because i consume short-form content from time to time, and the fact that social media has derived me from my attention-span so that i have a lesser want to watch long stuff now. ill probably work on it.. later!
my life is all of the things combined: the past, the future, and the present, but not necessarily equally :3 the past encompasses most of what i am today, with the present doodled here and there, and the future is not exactly what i think about most of the time.. its very scary and blurry tee bee age..(tbh)
i cant really control what i like to remember. its weird but i cant will myself to remember a certain thing because either my brain just refuses to or it comes up with slightly unrelated stuff :// i usually have to think a bit about it to remember most of a memory! its like.. i cant bring to mind the words i want for a convo, its just at the tip of my tongue yet i cant spell it out. im sure some of us relate to this as well? or when i try and think of something to say and my birthday party that happened two years ago pops up, and it feels like it only happened a few months ago. my memory tends to have jumps between time lapses like dat, its confusing asl UGHFHDG
I Wish i could remember.. I Cant.
As of late, I don't really think I like 'remembering'. I guess the way I see this question is that I see and feel like I'm living all three: the past and the nostalgia it brings, the present in the sense that there's little time until I graduate (so I should spend that time well, right?), and the future in the sense that it's all that's ever shoved down my throat and that I have little plan for.
So I guess I don't have a "most me" because all three points in life are ingrained in me, for better or for worse.
I will say that I do enjoy remembering the past the most as all of my happiest moments were in the past. Sounds kind of sad as I write that but whatever. One of the TV Tropes I identify myself with is "Glory Days" as I tend to wish I could go back to the past where it all felt easier.
Sorry for the ramble but I found the question interesting.
