Things We Forget

My parents are a big influence in my life. My friends are, too. They have both had a significant impact on my life, and I would not change anything.

I remember waiting for favorite shows to be shown on TV.

I learned how to pay attention through reading books.

I learned to trust my memory instead of pulling out my phone to answer everything.

I learned independence without GPS.

I experienced privacy as a default setting.

I remember calling houses, not people

My mistakes did not leave permanent records.

I learned social skills face to face.

I remember rewinding movies after you were finished watching them, so that they’d be ready for the next time we wanted to watch it.
