I have been experiencing an increasing rate of memory “fragmentation” or “seepage” lately and I am at a loss as to why. Old memories resurfacing when I least expect them to, probably jogged by visual, auditory or olfactory stimuli as usual, but at an alarming rate or at least far more acute than I’ve never experienced before. The mind is such a strange beast really, and it is doubtful that there is any clear reason, as in pure nostalgia, why this is happening. Most likely it is brought on by increased stress and anguish and manifesting itself in unlikely ways.
Like this morning, when I had for some reason fumbled up the alarm. As luck would have it, alarms clocks are superfluous when you are wake on time anyway, in cold sweat and with your heart almost jumping out of your chest, rattled by your own nightmares. This of course can’t be a coincidence. I guess we all have our moments of doubt when we believe we’re losing it, and it seems this is mine for the season.
