A Blessing In Disguise: Being Forgetful

A Blessing In Disguise: Being Forgetful

Want to know what is so good to be forgetful? It’s simple, because it’s easy to forget. Why is it something I categorize good?
I’ll explain with some true stories below:

Forget About Movies

I have forgotten since when I started being forgetful (surprise!), But I often watch the same movie so many times because I can not remember the story. In fact, I had forgotten the beginning of a movie when I just got to the middle of the same movie. Fortunately, I still remember the title of the film that I like, most likely forgot the name of the actors.

Is not that fun? I can watch movies that I like so many times with different friends. One movie for pleasure many times.

My forgetfulness is what triggered me become very active in social media, especially Facebook, because Facebook is kind enough to keep reminding me of what I did on the same day a few years ago. So, Facebook is my diary.

Forgot About Friends

While this often creates an awkward moment, such as having to make small talk by asking, “hmm, you have a nickname at school?” And after being given hint, I still can not remember it … This situation can help me improve a relationship.

Once, I talked with someone familiar, but then I was pulled by my friend and he said, “why are you talking to him? You hate that person, right?!?”

Usually I won’t ask what made me annoyed by that person, yet it’s fine now.

Forget About Game

It’s like forgetting a movie, so I can play the same game over and over again. Unfortunately, I also forgot how to play it, so I’ll have to went through the same challenge as well. And we all know that saying, “I used to be good” sounds stupid.

Forget About Revenge

It’s like forgetting acquaintance. The difference is I can remember the person, but not the mistake. Although my spider-sense says something is not right with that culprit, our relationship can continue well from that point.

And … when I’m upset with people, I just have to blocked everything that allowed the culprit to contact me, until I eventually forgot.

Though, the reuniting just happened to make things awkward. The culprit’s phone number already in my phone, but still in the blocked list. It was proven by the dial tone he heard when trying to contact me.

Actually there are still many that I want to share with my friends here, but unfortunately I do not remember what I wanted to tell you.
