By no means do I claim to be incredibly smart. But, my whole life I've been able to remember almost anything, in great detail, very vividly. Growing up, I just thought everyone had a memory like that. But when I got older, I realized that my memory was much better than most other people. I would actually get very frustrated when people couldn't remember very minor details that seemed so easy for me to recall. It almost felt like they weren't trying hard enough to remember.
Well, now I'm 40 and I can already notice that I'm losing this ability. I can still remember a lot more than most, but at the same time, I can't remember things like I used to. I had a process that I would go through, where I would cycle images or letters through my head and it could easily fill in clues to what I was thinking.
It's scary. I just wonder if it's going to go quick. Kind of like the saying "The brightest flame burns quickest." Again, not saying I'm bright in the smart sense, but more in the sense that maybe my brain was working harder. I don't know. And I'm sure it sounds silly. But who knows.
I'll be sitting on the couch and my daughter will ask me a question and I'll say, "Well, it's one of those things.... uh.... those... what are they called?" I can see the object in my brain. But I can't find the word. So I'll try and describe the object, but more words start to fail me.
I asked my doctor but he said that's normal for getting old. But I don't think he understood exactly what I was asking. I know a lot of you guys are getting old with me. Just wondering if anyone else notices their mind going?
