Is anyone just like... very terrified of losing your memories? (sh.itjust.works)

For context: I'm a young adult, I don't think I have any serious brain issues yet.

But I've recently been just trying to remember the past and although its kinda tragic, there are very interesting moments and I want to keep these memories forever.

But brains aren't perfect, and I'm just so scared.

Even re-reading the events from a journal woudn't exactly be the same as remembering it.

Idk, I'm kinda just obsessed with some memories for some reason. Don't wanna let go of it. Having this "backstory" (for lack of a better term), is what drives me forward, without those memories, like if I get a concussion and forgot everything, I wouldn't really be... well... "me" anymore, and the thought of that is terrifying.

This is all very cool, especially training your own LLM on the data, but if I ran across a stranger in public self-narrating their own life I would absolutely be like "what the living fuck is this person doing?"

Well, I have to different solutions to that problem that I use:

My dog-walking route doesn't have a lot of other people to encounter.
I couldn't care less what they think about me when they do.

Either works on its own, but together it's quite effective.

I would probably think they're an actor practicing a line, or recording for like a youtube video or some low budget film/tv or something, or some Vlogging type of shit.
