Memory

To begin the process of recovering the lost memories, I would look at old photographs and videos kept by my parents. The settings represented in the photographs and tape could stimulate some recall of what I did at those specific places. Of course, I would have to turn to my family for help in remembering those memories, for they were present in most of my life.

More than likely I would have a sense of being lost and confused in trying to piece together the whole entire past. Even if I can turn to my family, I probably would not even recognize them. So the feeling of being alone would be strong. Not only being alone, but fearing of who I can trust in going through the process of recalling my memories. Someone can make the claim I made the internet, and I would go through the rest of my life in disillusion believing that I did so. So my perception of what is true and false can be a skewed, for I cannot recall the past.

If I was able to pick out certain memoires, I would choose those memories of pain as well as happiness, for those two categories are probably most vital in normal function throughout life. Those memoires of pain would help me know what dangers to avoid and what actions not to perform in order to not feel pain in the future. Those memoires of happiness would give me the knowledge of what things are worth remembering, such as family and close friends and those events that created moments of joy in my life. Also with the knowledge of what makes me happy or hurt, I can acquire the knowledge of my past personality.
