This is a fascinating observation on the human condition. As we age many of us will have memory issues. My mum has dementia too.
It is a terrible situation to find yourself in unless you just let go and say 'it is what it is'.
Much of the twaddle that people talk is pointless babble but we must be kind and remember. Even the dull and ignorant have their stories, no matter how inane they may appear.
I'm not keen on social gatherings either usually but steemfest was truly eye opening. I met so many introverts just like us. It was lovely just being there.
We had a pleasant chat too.
For two complete strangers we did pretty good together. Don't you think?
Losing memories is inevitable for many of us. Enjoy the moments because that is all we have really.
