Then who would you be?
Are you sure?
What if it would only erase what you didn’t like?
Who would you be then?

There are parts of my past that I’d like to forget, but for the most part I’d like to remember more of my childhood.
Big chunks of time have been forgotten!
My memory is shot!

a new start. I will make new memories in another dimension of reality 
My partner told me living with me is like that movie 50 first dates 
I would only erase the instability / OCD / and the thought disorder

I forget bad things or better put they seemed to be filed away and don’t often come back, I would not take it at this point in life, maybe if I had trauma in my 20’s or 30’s

That seems the healthiest.
Bad things and good both shape who you are today, but as long as your not repeating bad stuff, it shouldn’t be thought of too much.
@Wave,
I can remember so many little things about my childhood, but it’s funny to listen to my parents and brothers tell it differently.
Do people tell you things and you can’t recall it happening?
Why do you think you are missing memories?
@MissMermaid,
I wish I could ‘turn off’ less than pleasant things I’ve done in my past, but I think it’s good for me, it keeps me humble.
Sorry about your boyfriend’s comments about you, I think your very nice just the way you are.

No. I wish I hadn’t been abused, etc., but I was and here I am. Given the chance to change everything means getting the chance to not recognize myself and maybe not ending up with my son and my husband. I don’t actually want to change anything, even if it meant happier times.

As long as there are others to blame, that’s my theory.
Hehehe, kidding of course.

Everything from my past? You mean the birth of my son? My college graduation? My trip to Europe with my mom and my best friend? The making of my albums and my music videos? The blissful moments with my lovers? I agree that my life has mostly been pure hell. But, not all of it.

This is how I feel too, but I didn’t get to have a wonderful son like you. I’m okay with this, I can enjoy your sharing your story about him. Having a good hearted kid melts all the wrongs in the world. I loved the time I had with my nephew, he made life seem better just by being here.

That’s so sweet, @Csummers. You have such a good heart. I am truly blessed by my sons mere existence.
With the tremendously bad in my life, there is that tremendously good. I can’t cut out any of it; it’s intertwined.

@Csummers, my brother is telling me things that happened to us, but I don’t remember a thing!
It’s downright scary!

Take his stories with a grain of salt.
My two oldest brothers are the family storytellers, following my dad’s ability to recall every tiny sordid detail that ever happened, but not always correctly either.
Much of their talk has been ‘fabricated’ to fill in the missing gaps, and I know, because I was there too.
Memory is an odd creature, not always trustworthy for the truth, because emotions can alter someone’s perspective to the point it resembles nothing like what happened.
Given a long enough timeline your going to say yes to that pill. Which only leads to more questions about life after life, IMHO.

Even the time I burped in church when the pastor was asking us for total quiet to pray?
Even the time me and my friends were on the shore and threw rocks at three kids who were defenseless on a raft in a large pond until they cried?

I would like to totally forget everything about my childhood because it was a nightmare and only remember everything since 18 years old, except for between 23 to 36 years old because I was sick. So mainly, I would only keep 18 to 23 years old and 36 to 39 years old. It’s only 8 years on 39. The rest has been a total mess and a waste.

No. Too many good moments and the bad. I wouldn’t lose one to lose the other. It’s a rollercoaster but I can say in 47 years it has been fun in moments worth savouring!

If it also cured my sza I would at least think about it. If not, not even my worst memories would make it worth it.
