113 - memory stream

stopping

and starting a new paragraph every time i need to take a new breath.

i’m imagining a time where everything is streamed, 24/7, there is some kind of

social merit in having a stream on 24/7 collecting your memories for you to revisit

and my grandkids are

asking me in this time about where i was on say october 7th

and i try to remember, i was in lebanon, i had just submitted my

dissertation, etc. and they’ll say don’t you have the

stream? and i’ll say stream? hohoooo there was no stream back then, back then we had to remember things

whether you remembered right or wrong, allah bya’ref, bas you did your best

and they’ll say what? no stream? you had to remember everything? that’s crazy!

and my husband will say you know your grandma was

kind of streaming

for a while she was writing about her life every day

and they’ll ask what it’s called and pull it up on their neuragram or whatever they use and download a

document thousands of pages long and maybe

even listen to it.

goodnight <3
