I believe that you've had most of your important memories by the time you're thirty. After that, memory becomes water overflowing into an already full cup. New experiences just don't register in the same way or with the same impact. I could be shooting heroin with the Princess of Wales, naked in a crashing jet, and the experience still couldn't compare to the time the cops chased us after we threw the Taylors' patio furniture into their pool in the eleventh grade. You know what I mean.
...You only have x-amount of years ahead... and most people already spend the early years getting drunk, high, falling for the wrong guys -- mistreaters and abusers -- and LIKE THAT all of your memory would the be used up in sadness and dead ends and being hurt, and at the end of it all there would be... nothing -- no more new feelings. Most wash away their memories with drugs and alcohol and dont realize when their older will have nothing to identify the past with but the bottem of a bottle or a saringe...
...from a book im reading "Life after God" good part of the book i thought i'd share..
