When i was out with my neighbor (the one i've started feeling really close to) she asked me where my brothers lived. Now, i told her before about my brother committing suicide. It's been the defining event of my life and i rarely tell anyone. And she showed by her question that she didn't remember.

I've learned not to react when people show they don't remember. I had an airhead psychiatrist that forgot once. My neighbor is 67 so maybe she's having some memory issues. The bright side is that i don't have to be ashamed of things i regret saying around her because she doesn't remember anyways.

Still, i feel a little disappointed by her inattention. I feel a little invisible and like i can't make myself understood so why try.
