Memories.

Everyone remembers things about their past, whether they be the good the bad or the painful, they remember. Recently, I was looking back on my past, and realize that I don't remember hardly anything. My childhood is a blank slate that I make stories up to sound like I've had something happen to me, or that I would have wished happened. I retell stories told to me, in order to have some truth in my lies. I don't really even know if it happened the way it was said, or if it was betrayed that way. I have no childhood if I look back on memories. I don't remember anything that had happened. My teenage years are almost the same. It's as if I just never was, and never am. I'm not all too sure if this happens as you age or not, but it surely couldn't be this young in my life. I'm only 23 years old, I should have memories of at least being 16. Hell, I should even remember doing things four years back, at age 19, but if you were to ask me honestly, I wouldn't remember. I don't know if I really know who I was or what I was. I could have been living a completely different life, but for some reason I wouldn't know. The people I talked to, or still talk to, I don't remember how we started talking, if it's been over years, when we started talking, or even if and when we did stop. I don't remember how or what or where. It just happened in my eyes. I have no idea what it's like to miss someone, most of the time because I don't remember them. I get people on Facebook all the time asking if I remember them from blah blah, an easy trigger point for most, but for me, no clue. You could be a complete stranger and ask me if I knew you through this, and it would be the same as if my best friend from years ago asked. I wouldn't remember. I'm not sure if it's because I've never really cared about things, or have just started not caring. I don't know what has been happening or what is going on, but I would just like some reassurance that this is somewhat normal. So, does this happen often to people, or am I a singled out person in 7 billion people, and stand alone?
