Life,. The Great Cruel Joke

Hello All,. As i sit here, my thoughts drift back to the not so distant past as visions of particular situations and events long past come to the surface of my memory. So many obstacles we overcame together, at different times in our life, i can still see them all very clearly in my minds eye. In two years time so much has happened, the people who we met along the way are now either nowhere to be found, and some of them have died. I wonder why or what the purpose of these small scenes or snapshots of times past mean? This happens to me quite a bit lately and it's something that i could do without because they are constant reminders of people, places, things i would rather forget, but i never can because of these involuntary mini- movies that play for no reason at all and at any given time. I wonder if this is experienced by anyone else out there?

Constantly dude wait till u r old like me!!

I never Get A moments Peace from every little stupid memory of my like u said cruel life !!!

OMG

Some call them Memory Worms. Ear Worms are where you keep Having a song a clip of a song a commercial jingle a theme song of a TV show or any type of sounds that just keep running over and over through your head and there is no way to get them out of your head !!! Ugh stop it please -

The only thing I have found works is to be very busy with a very mentally challenging activity. Then there is no room for these memories and sounds.

At first I had no idea what u were getting at then later you said what you were talking about which gets way worse as u get older..

Every little detail of my childhood everything over and over

Like it's designed

To drive me

Crazy

!!!

It feels good to be pissed of about this instead of suffering from this and not know why this has to keep happening - what is the purpose. It's like a torture device to be similar to a life review when you r dying...

I do not want to remember all of these things continuously. I already lived my life I don't want to live it a second time, Once is more than ENOUGH !!!

F This S...

U can Laugh at me if u want.

I deserve it.

Fellow annoyed memory worm sufferer.

Oh absolutely, so relatable!!! It almost felt like you took the words out of my mouth!! However when I was young this was much rarer, a different place a different time 💘

I used to have visions like movies go through my head; not of just the past but random stuff.

Lately I’ve been becoming stronger and past hurts pop up constantly because maybe I can handle them now, work through them, and get to a place where the old canvas is cleared and I can move on creating better memories.
