When Your Brain Becomes Your Frenemy
What if the very thing that makes you feel most broken is actually what makes you most human? Jenny Lawson can't remember entire vacations, loses shoes while wearing them, and once stood confused in her own refrigerator wondering whose house she'd wandered into. She's watched the same serial killer documentaries repeatedly, each time convinced it's her first viewing. Her memory is so unreliable that her e-reader has become an accidental time machine, revealing highlighted passages and notes from previous readings she doesn't recall making. She's solved the mystery in "Murder on the Orient Express" dozens of times, always impressed with her own detective skills. Yet this same forgetfulness has kept her marriage intact for twenty years-she forgets what they're fighting about mid-argument. Behind the comedy lurks something darker: dementia runs in her family. Her grandmother happily rereads the same Stephen King chapter weekly, forever discovering it anew. Rather than viewing this as pure tragedy, Lawson finds strange comfort in imagining all those forgotten memories locked away safely, still existing somewhere in the vast filing system of her mind. "If one day I look at you without recognition," she writes, "know that your importance remains real-the me who loved you is still sitting on that beach, forever feeling the sunlight."
