| I do remember my life and I am not fine. I remember a lot. One oddity with me is I seem to remember an unusual amount when it is connected to a question. I seem to record for a while, then can play back. And this sticks, sometimes for years until the question is resolved. Then a bunch of it fades and becomes like most other memories are. I remember every year of school and a lot of related activities. Saturdays out playing, or first concert, that sort of thing. So, why am I not fine? Take 9/11 I remember the state before that day. We have come a long way since then. Too far, if you ask me. Cops in schools. There were no police in my schools. Kids made mistakes, teens demonstrated poor judgement, and other things.. They were treated like kids.. today?? They have records.. I worked for one company for too long. The culture shifted. Soon, I felt like the stranger. I held the history nobody else did, or if they did, they did not share. Now, I do consider these mostly nice problems to have. I have options and can exercise them. Thought you might appreciate some perspective. I enjoyed this piece. |
