Already gone...

Sometimes I wonder if people really notice. I read about this psychological test on the trustworthiness of memory. two groups were put into a room and both groups watched the same video of a car wreck. The difference was that with Group A words like impacted and collided while Group B had words like smashed and slammed used to describe the crash. A week later both groups were called back and the harsher words were used again to describe the video these groups saw. Turns out most of the groups remembered seeing glass broken when the harsher words were used even the the video depicted NONE.

I am so already gone. But the memories that keep this alive for others are riddled with things that just aren't there. Crazy how the mind will play tricks on you.
