Memory Reflection

1. How would you begin the process of recovering your memory? Who would you turn to, where would you search, and how would you proceed?

I would first start off by having family members explain to me as much as they can. Once I get the history of myself and family down I would ask friends if they could fill me in with the memory I have forgotten. Hopefully all will go well from the information I have received from family members and friends.

2. Please describe the emotional journey you imagine you would be going through as you attempt to reconstruct your life. Imagine the feelings you would have.

I feel as if the emotional journey would be very hard, the fact that you kind of don’t know who you are and what purpose is driving you. Also being fed memories that you don’t recall would be very hard to take in since you cant picture or ever think of it happening. In fact I think it would be most scariest part of my life if I had to reconstruct my life, but in another way it can be beneficial the the memories you always wanted to erase.

3. Suppose you were able to pick and choose the memories you wanted to recover from your life. What types of memories would you choose to retain and what types of memories might you decide to edit out of your remembered experience? Positive, negative, painful, happy, angry, frightened, etc. Please elaborate and explain some your decision making process.

I would definitely replace all the bad experiences I have had in my life. Especially relationships those will never disappear and most people tend to have troubles forgetting their memory of it. For myself i would cut out my past relationships because it was just a battle left and right they way I see it now continuous verbal arguments and etc. Memories I would retain are the memories with friends and families during the good times such as parties, gatherings, and just relaxing with them. Even stupid moments of myself or friends is a memory I feel everyone should keep. These are 2 types of memories I would erase and keep because negative things would just torment someones memory for ever, meanwhile positive memories will just bring happiness.
