Precious Memory

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?

–  If I were unexpectedly struck by a falling object and experienced retrograde amnesia at first I would turn up-to my parents but I guess my diary will be my best friend that time.

Since age 10 I have the habit of writing in my diary every night about the incidents that I face the whole day, let it be important or not. There also I have attached pictures of all the important people that came into my life, all the important events that occurred in my life.

I will also try to meet up with my friends and neighbors every day to gain some knowledge about my past life.

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 will be like a new- born baby for whom everything has just started

I believe it will be very difficult and pressurizing for me to remember every single moments that happened in my life. All those dates, all those days,  that were very important for me for many years will be unimportant to me just in one second. What can be more painful than that?

.

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.

– Definitely I would want to retain my unhappy and painful memories because these are the memories would actually remind me my mistakes, my weakness and the way I overcame those moments.

Of course, I will like also to recall my happy, joyful memories too as they will make me more enthusiastic and give me the courage to do something but my priority will be my bad memories!
