Memory treats people differently
according to their1 personalities. For Jerry and me2.
It smooths over the rocky sports of our past, and makes us feel as if us3
two have lived charmed lives. But it works differently for someone who expects
things to go perfectly for them4 all the time. My parents are
like that. Their friends and them5 are always complaining
about how things ought to have been. Everyone in their crowd acts as if life
has created them6. Mom and Dad even talked that way during
the big aniversarry party Jerry an me7 threw for his parents
and they8.
I’m just the opposite. For instance, I can remember the face of someone who once loaned me their9 bike when i needed to get home fast for some emergency, but I can’t remember what the emergency was all about. When people tell me their10 recollecctions of various event in my life, I’m always amazed at how my mind simply refuses to hold on the unpleasant parts. But everybody has her11 own memory quicks. If a person wants to keep all the facts of their12 life straight, she13 should keep a daily journal. Ever then, what the person writes in journal at the end of the day depends on their14 memory, which is already busy rearrangging the details. Nobody can expect to control her15 memory completely. If i can’t control mine, I’m glad it doles out pleasant images for her instead of the dismal kind my parents have to live with for the rest of their16 lives.
