This discussion is really cool you guys I was actually watching a silly show, "BoJack Horseman", and they did a pretty HEAVY episode about Dementia, and it kind of made me think of memories in a pretty different way. The one with dementia was just a living box of memories, I guess you could say. She was no longer "herself" but a moving projection of the past, physically in the now, but now living in it. So when I think of memories in regards to me, someone without dementia, I am now trying to think of it as a movie projection. You can refer back to it anytime. You can learn from it, or just enjoy "the show", but the movie itself has no bearing on you and the now. Just like any other movie out there. You will have emotional reactions and thoughts about it, but the movie itself WON'T have any affect on your life unless YOU make it that way. If any of that makes sense.

I do enjoy my current job. I have excitement in thinking about where I could go with this company. Once we are able to catch up from my accident, I was hoping to start buying recording equipment

Sometimes I think I'm pretty good. I can do a lot of different styles. Classical Opra, pop, musical theater, r&b. I like it all.

@Key Elements I suppose no limitations, I'd love to sing. But that's a pretty cliche isn't it?

Entry #5 Loved this. Felt some relief after watching. We are just a complex mixture of good and bad, it's part of being human. I liked that. So much was covered in this, I will definitely have to watch this a few times to really soak it in.

@Feel Good oh, it's still pretty impressive thank you

Wooooahhh ???

Holy cow!!! That is some serious dedication! Thank you!!! ???

Yeah that was very beautifully said, thank you!

Dam , what can you say after that? lol Very well put! I'd like to believe I am more than just a baby maker, personally lol

Gravity isn't a thing, it is an abstract idea. It is just the name we gave to an "event". Something like that?

Mine? lol Were you a fan of the show?

Wow! That's crazy lol I seriously just finished this video before I read this! Leo had me totally pegged lol Thank you. I am going to stop sayin "I'll try" right now! I WILL get this done!

I guess that makes sense. I personally wouldn't find myself addicted. Just thought it would be a fun way to connect since things tend to be pretty serious on here all the time. We'd get to see a fun and laid back side to some of the people on here.

Me too This guy really covers a lot in such a short story and with such simple dialog.

it's okay lol

You are more than welcome to join me I don't know what I'm doing, but I am trying to have fun with it. I am very good at encouraging others too

Sounds like a great question for @Leo Gura

Thank you. You really have the best analogies that makes perfect sense. I am feeling really pumped today. @Feel Good I was FINALLY able to sit down with my husband and talk to him. I did my best to assert myself and started by telling him that I really need him to listen because this is very important to me. I explained what I have been doing and looking into, and he didn't get angry. He said he didn't understand it so I told him "I don't need you to understand it, I just need to be able to feel like you are supporting me 100%. please" he said he was sorry for being a dick the past week and will try to work on it. @Leo Gura I was able to watch this and I just wanted to thank you for it! I tried out the excessive with an old picture of me from a less desirable time in my life and just kept repeating "I love and accept you just the way you are", just like you suggested, and noticed the hesitation immediately. I kept saying it and found myself in tears by the 5th or 6th time I said it. It was a very weird feeling, just like you said it would be lol but I'm very glad I did it. I felt very warm-hearted and light afterwards. I am going to try and do this AT LEAST once a day and every time I start to get hard on myself. THANK YOU!!!

"god" describes that. Once he lives every life throughout time, he will be "matured" and can become just like his "father". I was raised Christian so this was pretty cool to read thank you. It's an interesting theory

That's kind of my goal as well there are aspects of my "old self" that I want back.

Thank you. I agree, it's a great story to help expand your thinking it's a comforting story as well, at least to me.
