#I mostly just recount the bad inner monologue. So few posts are about What I Did Today (neutral to positive).

Oh. Hello grief. Wasn't expecting to see you tonight. Can you go away and come back later?
#Kinda an odd experience to be in the bathroom getting ready for bed and to watch myself hold back sobs like I'm trying to swallow food I#don't like.#At my granny's house being struck for the second time that I don't have any good memories of my other grandparents. (The first time was at#their memorial when I wanted to say something but had nothing to say/no story to recount).#People talk about memory loss due to trauma but I've had no trauma like that.#People talk about sleep being vital for memories but I've had a bad memory for my own life as long as I can remember. No pun intended.#Like there was a time before I was perpetually sick. And for a while I was perpetually sick without being perpetually tired. And I had#pretty much no memory then too.#It's why I've always meant to keep a journal. And this blog has been my biggest success at journaling and yet....#I mostly just recount the bad inner monologue. So few posts are about What I Did Today (neutral to positive).#And what posts there are in the genre are years and years old.#My memory is like those old tiny-brained computers. My memories of people are usually just a fuzzy snapshot of the last time we were#together/on the phone. Everything prior gets overwritten.#Sometime in the past 8 years (since leaving high school) my granny got Old.#She's not doing well now (still more productive than me though) and like. I can't come up with an actual memory of Before.#I spent every single break with her this in excusable.#(Shit the tears came back.)#And like. As these thoughts always come back here: what do I and will I remember of my Mom?#(That she loves me. That's what I'll remember.)#personal
