Memory Is Queer And Distinct To The Individual – Part One
Astrology in real life
Many years ago I had a boyfriend and he had a nickname that I thought was grand. We broke up and 10 years passed. Whenever I thought of him, I thought of his nickname. This was just how I remembered him, the nickname was very defining.
One day he called me. I hadn’t spoke to him in a decade and I would say it was out of the blue but it was not. Several days earlier another ex-boyfriend had contacted me and that was unexpected. But when I hung up with him, I had inkling I would hear from this other man (Venus was retrograde) so when I did, I greeted him cheerily with his nickname.
It turned out he did not remember his nickname and boy was that eye-opening for me. The things that are important to one person do not necessarily even register with the other.
To be continued…
Have you ever experienced something like this? How did you feel about it?

One of the most powerful memories to come back suddenly (during my SR): having my hair forcibly cut off when I was 8. CHOP. It was empowering to remember. I got a lot of milage/psychological growth out of that. It’s one my life’s key memories. It explained a huge chunk of who I “became.”
I have had 3 people from my past get in touch with me in the last 2 weeks and they each asked me if I remembered a certain thing that obviously registered with them, but did not with me. It has been a strange coinquidink? but that guy that I mentioned to you earlier, Elsa sent me an email this past weekend and refreshed my memory of a book we both loved, “Soldier of the Great War”….this left me feeling a little unsettled.
denamaria, I love your spelling of “coinquidink”, I’m going to save that one for the future. 
With the last merc and venus retro, I heard from some long-gone folks in my life and they mentioned specific incidents I have no recollection of. It was odd and kind of unsettling – but the weirdest part was having other people tell me that aspects of my personality I didn’t know existed when I was a kid were, indeed, in evidence.
I thought you were going to tell us you forgot his (real) name (Just read the posts on your memory) So it’s not that bad after all

Yes, it’s played out many ways. I remember seeing an old dame from my childhood church when I was about 27…she gave me hell for knitting in church when I should’ve been listening to the pastor.
I knew how to :::knit::: once?
…And a friend who said “Remember that time you slapped (insert resident high-school bully’s name)?”
That really sucked. First of all, I never slapped her! She was huge and wanted to kick my ass, she would’ve KILLED me if I slapped her! Second of, who else goes around thinking I slapped her??? I hate this memory.
