Hi write1, just me. I don't remember much of anything really, right up to the last year it's a blur. Childhood exists in a whiff of some odour, the colour of something, a sound.
Therapy plus my age plus a lot of big changes in a short time seem to have catapulted my mind back to childhood; little things, like the way my hand looked all bandaged up (what was the accident?), stuff like that. Nothing really big has hit me and maybe nothing needs to, but I'm amazed at how the little things add up and give me a sense of why I am who I am. As these flashes of memory become more frequent as they've been doing lately, the memories get more and more real; I hope this doesn't sound nuts but they're almost interactive. I start being little me again, at the age I'm remembering; sometimes it's frightening, and I have to have a part of big me available all the time to hold onto, otherwise I freak and end up doing really stupid annoying things to find peace again.
Anybody else?
