Life is an Alzheimer's

just casually flipped through the movie look and feel I wrote before. Some of them were written a few years ago. Since they were basically written right after they finished reading, the lines were filled with emotional heat. But most of the plot is now forgotten. Some still write big words like "Come on in the New Year, what kind of person do you want to be" at the beginning and end of the year, but the reaction now seems to be that I have written these things...

and many things in life. I can't remember the names of my classmates in elementary school, the videos I watched in my childhood, the games I played, the time my family spent together, the dogs I raised, the dreams I said... Now suddenly I see fragments of memories from the past and I feel It's like an eternity.

My mother has always been a forgetful person. In my impression (not living together for many years), she always throws things around and put them where they are used. When my grandmother said her, she said "I forgot". I think the reason is her I usually don’t like to study, and my reading volume is zero, so my brain is relatively dull. There are also some congenital factors. She told me that one side of the brain sometimes can’t go up (in a more abstract way, in short, it is not easy to use), in addition, she Habits are really bad.

My grandmother is 77 years old. She watched me grow up, and I watched her grow old. Can't say for sure that she has mild Alzheimer's symptoms, but her memory does decline a lot. When she told me she had forgotten something, could it be Alzheimer's or something, I always answered her "It doesn't matter, I sometimes do this too", I forgot at my age, so how could it be dementia? After watching still Alice, I think my grandmother should not be as serious as dementia, she should be easily tired.

There is a feeling that many of the things that I have forgotten are optional and that I want to forget them, not because of the natural decline of memory. For example, a classmate was disgusting in school days, so most of the memories of being with her/him disappeared consciously. Or a certain event, in which it is simply tormented physically and mentally, so most of the details are forgotten, and I am so happy to forget it. In this way, there are not many memories left in my mind, and when I meet that classmate again, it feels like a lifetime away. I admit that I was very low self-esteem when I was a child, and now I am still a little pessimistic.

I didn't want to write it anymore, but after reading what I wrote in the past, I think I don't record it now, and I will easily forget what I read today. Regardless of the overall quality of the movie, the actress is really not bad. In fact, life is a slow-paced Alzheimer's. The patient is just fast-forwarding. Don't everyone forget everything in the end? A bunch of long-winded, I admit that I am a bit pessimistic.

May you have a good dream tonight, even if you forget it tomorrow morning.

Still Alice quotes

  • Dr. Alice Howland: You may say that this falls into the great academic tradition of knowing more and more about less and less until we know everything about nothing.

  • Dr. Alice Howland: I need something to read.

    Dr. John Howland: I thought you were reading Moby Dick.

    Dr. Alice Howland: Yeah, I was. But I got tired of reading the same page over and over again. I can't focus.

    Dr. John Howland: Well, that happens to me when I read Moby Dick too.
