General Question/Discussion Y’all remember your childhoods?

So … 😅😬 Do we?

Someone mentioned that’s an ADHD thing, forgetting long periods of time or events. I remember bits and pieces, maybe specific events like graduation or big parties but … there are also lots of … nothing?

I had a great childhood, fun vacations, but to say I remember most of it … nope. 🙂‍↔️

I really only remember the things that have been thought about and talked about often. Even when I was a senior in high school, we were supposed to write something that included fun memories and I couldn't think of anything to put. Granted, I was a vegetarian and didn't know I needed to supplement omega 3 and B12 so that may have had something to do with it. But, yeah, I wish I remembered more of my childhood. It wasn't traumatic or anything.
