Ever forgotten so much in your entire life? I guess not. I was always someone who remembered birthdays and anniversaries, dates and all the important stuff. I could easily identify people who I have seen just once ages ago, I can remember the oldest of memories that I got from eons ago! Then one fine morning boom goes my brain. I guessed that I woke up on the wrong side of the bed the first time it happened. Soon this started becoming a practice. I was unable to recall the simplest of words and phrases that we commonly used for communication. I would forget why I was about say and blabber like an idiot. That's when I realized that this has been happening since after my delivery. With the boom, came some sort of a short circuit to have happened inbetween my synapses. I am not sure what it exactly was this then, but I knew it was something serious, so very serious and I almost forgot about it. I couldn't recall names of the people I had met, nor could I recall people I had met on several occasions before. Sometimes I even forgot if I had brushed my teeth or not in the morning. I forgot birthdays and I forgot dates and even days of the week was lost on me. Then I realized that it was happening for a reason. My brain had cleansed itself and decluttered all the unnecessary information that had been stored on it since time immemorial. This space on my brain was essential to make sacrifices for the needs of my newborn babies. These tiny bundles if joy need a lot of attention to detail. You can't just afford to forget about them. So my brain knew the needs of my babies and decluttered itself, so as to never let me forget about their needs. To make their needs before everything else. All hope is not lost! After a few months your brain gets back to its old self again. Well in my case it just got back to its better self. I not sure how exactly this happened but then I have a better developed vocabulary than I ever had before. Photo courtesy : Google Images The flower in the image is called as a forget-me-not!
