Broken Filters
I was thinking today about the link in my last post to the 'importance of being forgetful' article. Maybe that's why my memory is so fucking weird...I have a horrible sense of time and it gets worse every year. Any question about how long ago something happened I struggle with. Events that took place years ago just blend together and I can't remember which happened first. I forget how many years old I am. I forget what day it is. Sometimes I forget what month it is, and I never seem to know the date. I won't talk to someone for a while and I'll be completely unaware if it's been a week or two months since we last spoke. It all just gets mixed up in my head.
It might be because I suck at forgeting other things. I have freakish and I mean freakish recollection of all sorts of other things. My head is swimming with just random shit it's picked up over time. Some things are very useful, but others i'd probably do best forgetting.
I was thinking I may have some busted filters in my head. Maybe it was being born with my umbilical cord wrapped around my neck three times or my abnormal neurology or genetics..who knows, maybe it's genetics. But, maybe it's why I can build things in my head...why I can remember all the tiny pieces and makes them work together. Maybe a normal brain wipes that stuff clean after a few hours or so.
