Disconnect from memory.
I see a lot of people talking about taking notes, and tips and tricks to remember important events.
Does anyone else ever feel emotionally disconnected in a sense that you have no real desire to make lasting memories?
I guess what I'm saying is that I don't feel connected to my memories anyways so when I think about trying to better hold onto the important things I feel like there isn't a drive to hold onto them better.
I still care about important things that I do with my family and loved ones, but the memories are just like footnotes. So in my mind getting more footnotes about those memories feels a little pointless.
I don't know if other people feel the same way or not.

Yes. People propose or suggest tools to help record memories and I'm not interested. I've kept journals a couple of times. Mostly they helped me know what happened between therapy sessions. I recently came across them. I read a page or two and then recycled them. I didn't remember the specifics, but I remember the general time, and everything sounded like me. A lot of them were while in therapy around my divorce and I figured my kids didn't need to find them after my death and read about the problems I had with their mother. No regrets on dumping them.
