Memory

If I were to lose my memory i’m sure I would go into a panic. If someone was to forget who they were, how they got to where they are right now, and couldnt remember anything I dont think anyone wouldn’t. I hope if something like this happens I would tell myself to remain calm and search my pockets. Inside I would hopefully find my wallet which contains my ID and my phone with all my friends and family members numbers. Assuming I havent forgotten my native language (as Mom and Dad are not written in english) I would call them first and ask them for help.

I’m sure it would be weird talking to people I dont even remember I would probably be really anxious to see them and be hopeing that everything was gonna be okay. Im sure they would try to tell me everything about me in a rush and it would just fly right by me. I wouldnt be able to concentrate on anything when I dont know anyone or anything. I would ask them simple things like what I do, and where do I go. I would slowly try to remember their names and my brothers name. After that I would probably check my text messages for who I text most, as they are probably my closest friends. Ask them about myself and what we do. Fun memories we had together.
If I had a choice to recover only certain memories I would change nothing. Having a clean slate is nice and all but if you are happy with who you are today, then that is who you are. Even if they are painful or embarressing memories of our past knowing them shaped us to be who we are. Something someone told me that I would never forget was (Maybe if I had amnesia) “Do you like the person you are? Then be happy for all the things that happened to you”
