Her birthday was yesterday so there is no reason to write now and "belated birthday" would be too silly. Too much "unlocking" of the mind to go there anyway. Already got a few memories about 2012 even writing this thread that were on blind-spots (i.e. first time we held hands in a barista), like it just popped there. Not a very "bright" type of memory compared to others.
The last time I chased a vivid memory was back in 2018 when I visited the city island in September and a memory popped of us together at a petting zoo at the CNE.
There are people out there who have super-good memories and can remember what they ate for lunch, down to the day, or what was playing on TV, like a decade or so ago. I'm not like that.
