how well do you remember your life?

I have aphantasia so I don’t have visible memories of my life.

I have some memories, but they’re more like narratives of events. Like I know what occurred, I can’t see it, but it’s there.

Not many though. I have very few from before I was attacked at 17 and the few years following are a blur. I’ve somehow blocked out an entire two year relationship, I barely even remember anything about the person I was with.

I find that I have more memories when people remind me of things or that just pop up at random. For example, I remembered my little brother would look on both sides of the laptop screen to try work out where the light was coming from as a toddler the other day. He’s 12 now. I try to write memories like that down when I do recall them.
