Why, it's practically the end of the world!
My life is zipping by without any impact. Not to me, not to the rest of the world. I wonder if the people whose lives I touched remember me with fondness or try to forget I ever was? How do I wish it? Hmmm, well, the people in my past are in the past, aren't they? What matters are the who are in my present. The ones who are "live" right now. The ones who smile when they see me. The ones who miss me when they don't.
Memories... ah, yes. Will they all fade away? I dread the prospect of Alzheimer's disease. I think it is inevitable for me unless I exercise my brain more, take vitamin B and become less dependent on Google. Google is really bad as it encourages people to neglect knowledge and make them dependent on its information accessibility. Why bother remembering information when you can simply hit Google when you can't remember something, someone, someplace or sometime? A mere 17 years ago, when I first became an EA, I knew everyone's numbers. Now, I know diddly squat. I can't memorize any telephone number aside from my home and my office and I even get them wrong sometimes. I forget my daughter's name. I forget the name of the man I hold in my arms almost everyday.
Alas, this may be how my life will be. Nothing but a kaleidoscope of faint memories.
What a blow to my egotistic side that thinks I am the Apocalypse!
Let's ride!
Which direction? Gawdz... I forget.
