You know I have a good memory...

Selective, but very good, and I might remember things you have forgotten long time ago. Not that I'll use it against you ;) I just remember :) cant help it. I remember faces (and sometimes moments) better than names, and this selectiveness sometimes brings me in many awkward situations :)

So often I meet people I remember I met them before - some could just have a small "hi! How r u?" conversation at some random conference, or introduced quickly by a common friend, or sat together in the bus, or met at the party… - I remember faces, sometimes names, sometimes a moment we met.

It was not easy to deal with it, understanding that not everyone remembers/notices so many people and random moments of life.

...First I thought I am strange to have such a memory and pretended I meet people for the first time, as they don’t remember me anyways, then I was angry cause I thought that’s what others do - pretend not to remember, then I grew up :) and realized that I actually like the way I remember people. That means they have something to tell me if they come back to my life again, or we still have something to go through together, and the first time we met it was just not the right time.

Sometimes I even meet people with the same selective memory and that makes me very happy - "remember we talked in the line to restaurant? You said… " :) and all those "how come we never talked to each other before??" …just wasn’t the right time ;)

Thank you random people who show up in my life again and become not random at all, sometimes you just make my day :))
