I don't know what I don't know. I don't like coming face to face with things that others know about me, but I don't. I don't like coming face to face with my Blank.

Me too. I just accepted a friend on FB, a fellow veteran, whom I am supposed to know from 20 plus years ago. He is nice, and he is a friend of a friend whom we both know well, and they are both happily married, but I cannot remember him. They said we had the best of times 20 plus years ago. He told me it was nice catching up! I am like, what? In my mind. Both of them wish me well. I explained that I am service-connected disabled with amnesia. They sorta understood. It is not exactly a lie, but there is no way in hell they would believe DID.

I wish I could remember the good old days.

I am now learning about this old friend who is my new friend in my mind. Strange. Brings back my losing time and blacking out days, which is scary.

Safe hugs.

I am on my cell, so it is too hard for me to deal with emoticons. BTW.
