I feel like I have no memories (lemmygrad.ml)

Was listening to radio the other day. Radio folks talk about the most random stuff to fill the airtime. This time they were discussing a memory from their childhood. Specifically, when, as a child, they returned to home from their school, who was the first person that would look for they asked. Someone called in and said they wanted to see their mother the most and now that they have children, the children do the same thing.

I was thinking about myself and I have no idea what I did in this situation as a child. I know both my parents worked, so maybe they weren't there when I returned. I had some nannies take care of me but I don't recall much about them other than their names or faces. Or maybe my parents were done with work by then. Maybe I didn't look for anyone and wanted to do something else, but I have no concrete recollection of that either.

I wonder if this is normal.

My memory is pretty shit; the memory of one of my oldest friends is a freaking superpower as far I’m concerned.

As for radio: I remember an old radio host (I can’t remember his name because my memory is shit) who’s memory seemed to be photographic. Maybe it really was or maybe he greatly embellished his stories because it made for good radio.

I'm the same way, and have a friend with a good memory. Every time we meet up he talks about all the DnD games we played and different things we had done in the past and I only really remember, like, half of it.

I've kept journals in the past, but I rarely stick to it. It's interesting to return to those after a while.
