I also just know the facts, but often it doesn’t resonate with me or connect with me on any level. I’m good at pretending and appearing as if I remember something if I’m in situation where I must pretend. At least I think I’m good at it, but maybe not. With my good friends, I don’t pretend. They know and understand– I either recall some part of something or I don’t.

I generally remember my name, address, phone number, birth date, ssn, etc. We are very good at remembering numbers… almost scary sometimes. Sometimes though I draw a blank and have to search hard inside for the answer. There are many times where someone has asked me my name or I’ve been introduced and I feel so foreign to myself and my name. The biggest thing that will happen for me often is that I won’t remember my age. I’ve had numerous times where I’ve been asked and the first answer I hear in my brain is a completely different age than the body’s age. Of course we know what we’re supposed to say. But sometimes some of us don’t know and we have to think hard about what the body’s age is. It feels real stupid to have to think hard about how old the body is and how it is supposed to be about how old “you” are even though it isn’t how old you *really* are- it’s just what people are supposed to hear.

We got to go, but that’s some of what we wanted to say. Maybe it is all of it.
