I will preface this by saying I love SS. Truly I like the community here and I have mostly enjoyed my interactions and silent mutterings as I read much more than I post. That said I cannot help but think that nearly every post is a regurgitation of another. I guess it's to be somewhat expected but i'd like to offer a challenge to anyone who can muster the strength to type into their keyboard.
Tell me something new that interests you. I do not want to set real limits but lets just say for the sake of this discussion talking about suicide, mental health, dying are off limits. Everything else should be new for this forum and so the topic can be anything you want.

I retain some facts about my life but I do not remember anything besides some facts. I.e. if i went to spain I would know i went to spain but would not actually remember the trip. So back when i had friends we were tripping and talking about the Mandella effect.
My now dead friend mentioned in passing that maybe i'm not retaining memories as a protection mechanism to defend against a barrage of "false" memories because i'm switching through realities so frequently I needed a way to cope.
I promise it makes much more sense if you know all my history but nobody has time for that. Lets just say I have latched onto this for some time now as an amusing idea. While i do not retain episodic memory I often find that my facts also do not line up with reality. I have a whole slew of facts I " remember" about people I cannot prove even existed.
Maybe i'm schizophrenic, or was? who knows. I dont really believe in this but I enjoy the thought. What is something that interests you?
