I, too, have a terrible memory, and also aphantasia. And like you, I realized one day that this is why I so often experience the world through a viewfinder. It’s not about performance, it’s just a different kind of presence.
I’ve always wanted to journal regularly for this reason, but I haven’t yet been able to build a strong enough habit to make it stick. This year, I’m hoping to use my planner to plan the week, but also in reverse, to remember my days.
This, though: “My father’s hands are black with oil and I am starving for something more than Gatorade and pizza from Casey’s. I am a child already aware my survival depends on posing, on standing still in the right light and smiling.”
This photo exercise is so inspiring! And your attempt is beautiful and very helpful as well. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️💥
Oh good! I really enjoy it and do it often!! ❤️
I have too. This is such a beautiful perspective.
There are gifts to it I think. Like being able to pick something up quickly - I wonder if they are related

Yes, it’s not about performance but presence. That’s it exactly ❤️❤️
