Forgetfulness.

Hmm, this might not sound as polished as my previous blogs, but honestly, this was a thought that popped out of nowhere at around 11 AM.(5 days ago)

Tbh, I was flabbergasted by the number of thoughts running through my head. OMG, I couldn't even remember everything!

Honestly, it felt like I'd opened 30 Chrome tabs on a laptop with 2 GB of RAM. I was literally bugging and glitching.

One thought suddenly opens, and then it closes. Another one opens, and that closes too. Oh my my! Thirty minutes of straight-up chaos.

Somehow, I eventually got distracted by the laundry work I had to do.

But out of all those thoughts, I could recall two main points that stood out:

1. Forgetfulness

2. Remembrance

FORGETFULNESS:

What is this?

"It is a noun that refers to the quality or habit of easily forgetting things, or a state of being unaware and inattentive."

(According to Gemini.)

Just kidding! :) Y'all know what that is...

Forgetting is quite common among all of us. Sometimes, it could be money, keys or, if you're anything like me, where you last kept your cables.

But there are certain things we usually don't forget that easily. Take two seconds and recall...

If you guessed something different, no worries! Everyone has their own priorities.

In my case, it's MOMENTS.

"Oh, what bro? What are you talking about? Moments?"

Nah! Recall the last time you took a selfie with your close ones. I bet you can remember that one dumb conversation you had with your friend. Maybe a text message, maybe your birthday celebration, or perhaps some random little incident that still makes you smile.

Now, what does all this have to do with us today?

It's about when a little forgetfulness can turn into chaos.

Speaking of those Chrome tabs, there's another kind of forgetfulness that can cause quite a bit of trouble.

We sometimes forget what we spoke about, but what if it was something sensitive? Something that was close to someone? Something that actually meant a lot to them?

It may seem silly and sound funny, but it's true. Sometimes, all that chaos is caused by one forgotten fact.

We might casually brush things off with a "Huh? What's so important about it?"

But sometimes, it actually is important.

We often forget things without realising their significance. And when that happens, the person who remembers might end up being the one most affected.

I honestly don't know how someone could act as if they had never heard about something that once meant so much (not for them).

"For someone, it's just another convo. For the other one, it's THE CONVO THAT MADE THE DAY."

So guys, if you've made it this far, here's my little request:

Remember something that could mean the world to someone else.

REMEMBRANCE:

Well, simply put, don't do what I mentioned above. :)

Remember the little things. Remember the moments. And most importantly, remember that something you might consider insignificant could hold a special place in someone else's heart.

"Not every moment needs to be remembered by everyone, but some moments deserve to be remembered by someone."
