yesterday billiam said something that i thought was really good. he asked me if i remember all the years before my accident happening and when i said "no, not really" he was like "does that mean they didnt happen?"
im looking at tara raes posts and she has a daily post on consciousness. in case you didnt know, tara rae johnson is a fucking genius. shes so hipster (whatever that means) and not only does she know what im thinking and feeling before i do, shes been blogging about it daily/weekly for like a month or more.
by all means and definitions, i have been conscious for 3 years and like a week. do i remember everything that has happened? probably not. i probably dont even remember most of the big things that happened. i know they happened, but do i remember them? negative. that doesnt mean they didnt happen, though. i know that certain things happened in 2012 but just because i spent a lot of that year in a persistant vegetative state (physically and mentally) slash heavily drugged doesnt mean none of them happened. im like 110% positive that that was the year that my grandma died of lung cancer three days before my birthday. the only plus to that was that she lived in Vegas and so we bonzaied it to California for my day of birth. so yeah. thats how that happened.
