Hi! I'm here to leave a quick review!!
Anyway let's get right to it,
“It’s funny how such a shocking event can slip away from your mind so easily. One minute you feel as though it is taking over your every thought and movement and then just as suddenly as it arrived, it vanishes from your head.
Every so often we look around and ask ourselves ‘How did we get this far?’ or feel the buzzing high of pride or sadness and think ‘Why did this happen to me?’
Memories can shrink to insignificance in the mind and then swiftly grow back into a thought of immense importance and take over with overwhelming power. And so the unexplainable cycle continues.
Okay....an interesting thought process there...not too often that you run into someone thinking this deeply about a memory and the mention towards potentially bad memories definitely set off some alarm bells for me there, cause you do wonder what might've happened to cause these sorts of thoughts to surface within the person speaking here.
But what is a memory? A memory can be the faded photograph of yourself when you were young, shoved inside a dusty drawer. Or, a memory is the crimson flourish on the wall behind a startled victim. A memory is the dazzling but terrifying mirage that you experienced during your first drunken night out. No matter how hard you try to keep these things permantly swept under the carpet, it's impossible. Like pushing at a pulling weight. They’re always present and there will always be things, moments, conversations that remind you. It’s like the copy of that battered, dated novel that you store in a cardboard box out of sight. Now matter how many years later you open the book, the musty smell will be just as pungent, just as choking…just as, well, memorable.
I see...well, this appears to be some kind of relatively in depth analysis of a memory being done by the character here like you mentioned in the spoiler...aand well, this is all sounding quite convincing so far...I can agree with quite a few of the points that are being established by this person here.
So, the million dollar question is how can these memories which are almost imprinted in a person’s mind just vanish into what seems to be nothingness? Sure enough, the memories are still there because the person has lived through the experiences but why don’t they remember? Is it a punishment? Is it God’s doing? Or is it simply because the person doesn’t remember how to access the memories?
Hmm, that seems like a fair question to ask, and I'm assuming this is the main question that this person plans on asking through their project here..so that's actually a pretty cool piece right here. There are definitely some very interesting thoughts here...and I think it can lead to some very interesting places.
I mean, one moment a person can recall everything about a major memory such as the first death that they experienced. You remember every aggravating detail as though you’re still in the moment. You can feel the bladed tears scraping down your face. You can feel the punching rhythm of a broken heart in your mouth. You can feel Grief’s fists clenching your insides. The physical pain. And then with one swift movement, it’s gone. The mind has been emptied of its contents and is nothing but a hollow shell with the potential to be refilled…”
Well...this is a neat little start, it kinda revolved a lot around the same idea, which got a touch repetitive towards the end, but for the most part I think it comes off pretty much alright. Its certainly sufficiently interesting that I'd wanna know more...but at some points I felt like it went a little deep along mostly the same points repeatedly.
Aaaaand that's it for this one.
As always remember to take what you think was helpful and forget the rest.
Stay Safe
