what it's like to lose part of your memory:
it fucking sucks, that's quite obvious. you have no control over what memories stick with you and what goes. I have a great time with friends and make memories which I'm sure some of them won't forget, then the next morning I remember nothing other than the fact I was with them. maybe not even the next morning I forget anything that happened, but you can lose your memory as soon as you get home. because of losing my memory, I feel the need to constantly take short videos or pictures because I'm afraid I'll forget it ever happened. I live in fear for the fact that I'll one day forget everything about the life I live today.
I wish that I was able to control it because one day I'll be introduced to someone then the next day they say hi to me I have no fucking clue who they are.
but losing part of my memory has made me far more grateful than what I used to be. I appreciate the people I know as much as I possibly can and the time that I have with them. the best feeling for me is when I remember some things that shouldn't even matter but they're my favorite memories, I'm thankful for every small memory I have.
