The memories they’ve acquired throughout this pandemic, as well as throughout the years of their life have been forever changing to fit the narrative their mind agrees with at the moment. The idea of memory is a conundrum that continues to baffle those who try to recall a specific moment of time. All of the stories described are examples of memories, whether in the form of streams of consciousness or in plain storytelling. These examples are heavily opinionated to fit what they believe to be true, what they believe is safest for the psyche. Everything in this life is construed so we can have our main priority be survival. The memories shared are not pretty, nor did they happen the way they are told. No one will ever know if the past was true, with or without evidence, even the most vivid scenes are only magnified to fit your chosen narrative. Life, as it plays before our eyes, is being molded into a more bearable formation of our present. Who knows? Maybe, just maybe, everything before us is a source of imagery, keeping the sleep mask over our eyes so we keep “living the dream”.
