Memories and memory. This weekend it really hit home that our memory is really strange at times. I don't remember a thing about what someone else told me when we were talking. I mean it was in our life together , I was there according to them and I believe them, I just don't remember it, or do I vaguely after hearing about it. Kinda like when waking from a dream was it real or a dream?  Then talking to someone else about what I thought was a big moment in their life, they don't remember anything about that! I have carried this memory with me for years and remember the episode of life clearly and thought it meant so much to them and come to find out it must not have meant anything or they would remember. Funny how we remember things and don't. Some things that mean a lot really only mean a lot to ourselves, and some things that mean a lot to others mean nothing to us. So does this make it harder or easier to make a mark in someone's life, to know you matter to them, to know they will remember you and why?
