[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember so little of my first 20 years, and I'm wondering how it compares to others.

Do you remember your high school graduation? Where it was, what you wore, what you did afterwards?
[b]Yes, I remember it. My dad came into town for it. I wore a white dress -- I didn't know that was a traditional thing to do, I thought we were just doing it because our graduation gowns were white (our school colors were blue and white and the boys wore blue and the girls wore white).[/b]

Do you remember feeling intense love for your parents as a child?
[b]No. One was relatively absent and one was abusive. I do remember feeling intense love for my grandparents, though.[/b]

Do you remember your college graduation?
[b]Yes. But barely.[/b]

Do you remember what you did most days after school in elementary, middle, high school (what your general routine was, not specific days!)
[b]Not well. But I remember walking home from the bus in elementary school. And remember walking home from middle school. And driving home from high school. I remember eating a lot -- Kraft mac and cheese and ice cream -- when I got home from high school, because I actually wanted to gain weight (lol, those were the days...).[/b]

Do you remember what childhood dinners were like with your family?
[b]Yes. This varied depending who my mother was married to (sigh). But yes, I very much remember them (and not fondly). [/b]

I'm just curious....I have trouble remembering all of these things except for college graduation. I feel like memories don't imprint on me very well...[/quote]

Answers in bold above. I think because I suffered a lot of neglect and abuse there are some things that I remember more than the average person, and some things I remember less. [/quote]

I'm this PP ^^ and I'm 54. [/quote]
