my memory has gotten poor lately and this can't be. i'm only twenty-two, but when i try to recall something, it is quite a struggle to make clues land on my tongue and make it roll off as the right name, title, or place. as i retrace my memories for these lost words, i also walk back and figure out what could have caused this terrible, terrible forgetfulness.
has it been my diet? the smog that greets me everyday? my being away from university now? the austere size of my dorm room? my lack of sleep? my lack of focus on things?
perhaps i have had too much of a carefree lifestyle overly confident of my youth that i have never taken measures to prepare myself for a phase of wrinkles and crow's feet, failing eyesight, bad back and knees, and yes, forgetfulness.
especially forgetfulness!
well, i think i could tolerate wrinkles and false teeth, but it would be so tragic to fall prey to time as it snatches away thoughts, even those that normally occupy the *frontest dockets of your memory.
imagine time stealing away from your mind the melody of the song that kept you sane while you worked midnights back in college. or the name of this seatmate who was your savior in Accounting or any math class. or in one of your most memorable travels, the name of this certain specialty food item you can only crudely describe...
it would be practically stealing a portion of your life, dulling out, little by little, the sheen of its multiple facets. :(
so before my anthems slip away from memory, i vow to eat right, sleep enough, walk more, and write everything down, releasing my thoughts to the care of this blog and not just in some elusive public bulletin post or crumbly tissue paper. and since i would want to seek assistance in case of lapses in my memory, may the wonders of technology make this blog last a lifetime.
