Saw this SomeEcard and they dont usually speak so directly-to-muy-lyfe so I had to make note of it.
This is me with every single person i know. i didnt even think i had that particularly good a memory until so many people so consistently would not remember events that replay crystal clearly in my head. Even recent events. I don’t understand you people. It’s like your brains are web browsers that empty the cache of each week or less and mine is Gmail and just archives it all for later searching. -Actually a pretty good analogy, since Gmail is constantly not turning up results for stuff I search – which is like my own brain cuz I don’t have a photographic memory or any kind of savant talent to remembering all-things-all-the-timez. but i seem to log away things everyone else deletes.
This manifests itself in plenty of “remember that time I said that cloud looked like the Mona Lisa and you said it looked like a dog eating its own poop?” to where the other person is just like “huh?” -and I have plenty of those moments where i’m clueless to someone else’s recollection too of course, but there is one area where it seems like everyone-but-me has a consistently poor memory… One area where I remember like it happened 5 minutes ago and others forget like it happened in another millenium (even if it literally DID happen 5 minutes ago). The biggest thing everyone deletes from their memory banks? Their bad choices. Not so much their screwups – they remember those fine. And thats how I know it’s an intentional deletion. They remember their accidents and eff ups – but their intentional choices that negatively impacted others? Forgotten.
Maybe I just have extra brain-space from not having to store any sports information or even elementary level math skills. Idk. but I wish people would remember at least that *I remember*. Especially when it comes to shitty things people do it seems. I remember all the things *I* do that have negative effects on people and work to make each one right or to double down on them when I was intentionally inflicting it. Thats me, yo. Stuff dont go away.
I dont dwell on little infractions or anything like an obsessive jerk, but when you rack up enough and fix none of them cuz of some no-regrets YOLO bullsh#t – expect me to not like you. at *least* not as much. keep it up and it’ll be not at all. We all have moral bank accounts that we fill up with awesomeness and make deficits with our bad choices. Thats how humans work. Most people just dont pinpoint or understand the reasons for their emotions or general concept toward most of the people in their life cuz theyve logged away those negative unfixed events without giving them much thought. Not me. I give it all thought. I remember it all. When you give it no-thought and forget, you’re chipping away at my otherwise unmoveable stone of friendship.
Just a reminder.
Also – Remember that time that we — oh… you don’t?… :/
