Memories lost..

I was wondering if other gemini's have this issue. I didn't realize this until I was talking to my Libra girlfriend from the Army whom I haven't been in contact with in 15 years.

What was amazing to me are the lack of memories I have. I remembered maybe 1/4 of the memories she remembered. I couldn't beleive how much has 'slipped' my mind.

So of coarse I had to analyze this. The only thing I could come up with, that I wanted to bounce off you guys, is that my minds runs so fast, that I don't stop to "smell the roses". that's the only thing I can think of. I mean I lived it. It was insane, crazy, scary.. but I was there. But for the life of me I couldn't remember so many things. Some of it I remembered after she started talking about certain things. But it kinda made me sad.

As I started dwelling on this, I also have come to realize I don't have a significant amount of memories as a child either. Granted, I moved every 2-3 years of my life until I was 27. But that should be an excuse.

This is frustrating. Do I need to start taking ginkgo biloba pills or something?

I'm the same way Baby Girl. I think we tend to focus on the Future rather than the Past. That also could be the reason why they say Geminis move on quick, we are just not that into dwelling on what already happened...
I think my first childhood memories were from when I was like 5, so that's pretty late as well. My Pisces mother is always surprised at that, since she has her first memories from when she was 2 year old. She herself tends to dwell on the past, maybe that's why....

I have a couple memories from as a child, but if I'm being completely honest, i believe that's due to me hearing stories about it.

i wish i could say the same, but i also wish i could forget most of my childhood. i normally remember more than my family remembers.

woow ..never thought this could be conected to me being e gemini .. i am exactly the same baby girl !! (also the part about moving a lot)
the thing that amazez me the most is how little i remember about my brother being born , and being a baby, he is 4 years younger then me ...i don't really remember anything about him being a baby..
could that be due to the fact that i - or gems tend to live in 'our own dream worlds ' ?
hmmm...

I'm totally the same.
I don't dwell on the past, mainly because I find it embarrassing and its also a hindrance
I think forward and only look up clear 🙂

I know I am not a Gem but I felt the need to comment. This may be a little deep for some of you but I am a scorpio raised by a Gemini Mom so I can relate to this.

I could never talk to my mom about how I was as a child. I only remember two important things that my mom told me that I still talk about today.
1 she used to call me Twiggy after the model
2 when is just learning how to walk I got really sick and I when I got better I had to learn how to walk again.

My mom don't like talking about memories she just shys away to I go to my Cancer Grandma and she tells it. I can't really ask her to much because she is 93 and she don't remember much lol

Holding on to memories has its good and bad points.

Some of the Good

You can tell your children how you was as a child and it helps them to know and understand you.
When you are dating you both can share about how you grew which can help in the understanding of one another
And might find what you have in ommon
You never forget your good memories because you talk about the a lot

Some of the bad

Bad memories stops you from enjoying life
You can't let them go
Stops you from opening up
You tend to treat people the way you was treated

Sorry to hijack this but it caught my interest.

One thing I think gems should practice is learning how to face the truth and stop running.

I am not a Gem, but I do have the rising and I can definitely relate to your post BabyG. Facebook is what brought that to my attention when I started to reconnect with so many people from my past that I had not talked to in several years. Different people would bring up situations that I do not remember, but was a part of.

This fascinates me for some reason. I can understand bad memories, and i think our brain kind of does us a favor in not really remember on some things.

One thing i have found that really triggers my brain is music. Songs from the past really help me out, but only for some things.

again castor... lol correct. you're getting pretty good with interpreting me!!! Not many people do that easily. LOL

Ya, i remember important things that have transpired over my life. It's the smaller, less relevant situations, activities, conversations that seem to be no where in my brain to recollect.

I also didn't post this as, i wish i could dwell on the past or anything like that. It was simply seeing if other gemini's or signs have issues with memory retention.

Thanks for feedback 🙂



"This might indicate that I'm much too self-involved perhaps? lol"

I was wondering this about me too. hmmm don't know if i'm proud of that or not lol
