My most influential ex and I met 4 years ago today.
What are dates that you always remember (even when you don't want to)?
birthdays, of people i consider important enough to remember (mostly family, friends i've talked to fairly recently, that sort of deal)
the anniversaries of my past relationships (COOL THING TO REMEMBER)
when my most recent relationship ended (helps that it was on halloween tbh)
that's most of it. oh, and holidays and that kind of thing
Birthdays.
4444444444 4 4 444 44 4
My parent's, best friend's (because I used to have to pretend to be him when I called up the phone company) and girlfriend's Birthdays, and I had a bad habit of forgetting my current relationship's anniversary but because I made myself learn it it's now stuck in my head.
I can only remember two past relationships anniversaries and that's because they are both on the same day. Several of my exes birthdays. I can remember start/end dates of some of my past jobs. Some weren't important enough or I tried to force them from memory.
I used to be pretty good at remembering dates that had an impact in my life but I've started to let go of the past and not care anymore and consequently, I have forgotten most of them.
I remember the birthday of my first serious girlfriend, despite the fact that she dumped me for the dumbest and most insecure reason ever, turned into a massive coke whore, and wished death upon me for no real reason.
I used to be that way. I used to place meaning on certain dates in my life. Then I just stopped. Not even sure how or when. Point is I have been happier without letting old memories invade the present. The past is the past. Had good times with a few people of the opposite sex. That's about it.
I rarely can remember dates to things. This is why I have a calendar to mark things down, yet I do remember the bday of my ex and the only reason I remember my anni now is became my current bf likes to remind me every friggin' day, but mostly because there was a Beyonce concert that day in central park that I wanted to go to.
I remember Oct. 25 (St. Crispin's Day) because of Shakespeare.
I'm bad at remembering stuff like that when I'm actually in the relationship, much less afterwards.
Apparently my ex is still keeping track, though. His tears are delicious.
I remember the birthdays of most of the class I was in from grades 1-6. Granted, there were only like 15-20 of us at most during those years (rural school), but it's still pretty weird that I even remembered some of them in the first place, let alone to this day.
MY BRAIN IS FILLED WITH DEADLINES.
Steph's birthday is December 22nd!
I uh... think we got together in... a month. In the first half of the year.
My birthday?
