If I had amnesia I would hope my friends help by bringing me to places I’ve been to before;helping me relive the past. Personally I would write. Writing stimulates creativity and allows the mind to run free. If were to lose my memories I would want my mind to flow and perhaps in the mist of searching my creativity my memories cam be unlocked. Both these activities can stimulate the mind and also trigger emotions, which are closely related to memories.
During this time, I think I would rely on my closest friends (which I only have a few). These people know my ups and downs and care able to endure with me and help me rediscover my past. I know that if I didn’t remember them, I would have trouble trusting them, but also be able to go through emotional turns which may help me with my memory. I can only imagine the frustration i would have from not remembering the past.
But if I had a choice to keep or lose some memories I wouldn’t want to remember anything. Going about everyday without pre notions of who you are or who people perceived you as is like a new beginning; it’s like being able to look at the world and society from an outside view without all the things I was taught to accept or taught to believe. Everything I see today will probably look different.
