Some people have an abundance of good and bad memories of their
childhood. I am beyond envious of everyone that has them. My childhood memories are scattered and far
between. In fact, sometimes I get think I get confused
if I actually remember a certain event or if I am only remembering through the
stories told by others... or if there are only triggers that brings back some memories.
Today I’m contemplating
the idea of writing a list of things that I’m pretty sure are my own memories. Having old pictures might definitely be a
help... but is that my memory?...… or is it a memory created in my head to explain the
photographs? or... Maybe it is just the photograph's memory.
I'm the cool one, that's not doing all the fun stuff! Just a typical picture of my siblings (and my auntie) acting goofy.
Luckily my baby brother and I both had our own steering wheel...otherwise I'm pretty sure one of us would have been crying. That's another brother following close behind.
I've been thinking about this, too; how hard it is to recall things from before I learned to live with writer eyes! I think some people just feel more comfortable blending fiction about their past with "real" memory - I say, go for it!
ReplyDeleteI for one am pretty sure your memories are fictional because your memory is sketchy!!! I'm teasing, you have wonderful memories of your childhood and I love listening and reading the ones of your brothers and sisters. It would have been so fun to have such a big loving family growing up. They are a part of you, and you are the best!
ReplyDeleteI have had these same thoughts. What do I actually remember? What is really a recreation of memory from a picture? What have I heard about so many times I have imagined my memory?
ReplyDeleteThese are great pictures!
ReplyDeleteNow that I've taken so many digital photos of my daughter, I am always going to have to wonder how much she'll really remember vs. how much she'll 'remember' from photos.
With photos that cute any story works.
