You'll remember when you use it again. Sometimes other things become more important at the time.
beyondme: (So low)

[personal profile] beyondme 2016-08-04 11:26 am (UTC)(link)
That seems a little too convenient for my tastes.
conscire: (ғᴏᴜʀᴛᴇᴇɴ)

[personal profile] conscire 2016-08-10 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Convenient, or useful? The brain is a wonderful tool.
beyondme: (Nothing)

[personal profile] beyondme 2016-08-11 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
How is it useful?
conscire: (ᴇɪɢʜᴛ)

[personal profile] conscire 2016-08-12 10:40 am (UTC)(link)
What you need is stored in there. You don't forget things, you don't need to relearn them, it's all there.

( Almost mechanical in a way. It's nice, for not everything to be so different )

It's fascinating how you work.
beyondme: (Like a waterfall)

[personal profile] beyondme 2016-08-13 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Excuse me?

I'm quite sure my memory isn't eidetic.
conscire: (ᴛᴡᴏ)

[personal profile] conscire 2016-08-16 10:51 am (UTC)(link)
But you don't lose your skills if you don't use them in a while. There's more stored up there than you might know.
beyondme: (So low)

[personal profile] beyondme 2016-08-17 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
Probably. But memories - human memories are different. They fade.
conscire: (ᴇɪɢʜᴛ)

[personal profile] conscire 2016-08-17 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
But not all are lost surely. Do you remember being a child?
beyondme: (My tears dropped to the floor)

[personal profile] beyondme 2016-08-18 09:13 am (UTC)(link)
A little. I try not to think about it too hard.
conscire: (ᴛᴡᴇʟᴠᴇ)

[personal profile] conscire 2016-08-18 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Surely remembering that proves it? That your brain is capable of such great storage. That you can recall things even from so long ago.
beyondme: (My tears dropped to the floor)

[personal profile] beyondme 2016-08-19 09:20 am (UTC)(link)
Honestly, the less I remember my past, the better.
conscire: (ᴇɪɢʜᴛ)

[personal profile] conscire 2016-08-19 10:18 am (UTC)(link)
You're missing the point. It's the fact that you can do it, it doesn't have to be that specific moment.
beyondme: (Of salted crimes)

[personal profile] beyondme 2016-08-19 10:37 am (UTC)(link)
You sound like you don't have those kinds of memories.
conscire: (ɴɪɴᴇ)

[personal profile] conscire 2016-08-19 10:39 am (UTC)(link)
My memories work differently to yours. I don't have to worry about forgetting.
beyondme: (I hit a wall)

[personal profile] beyondme 2016-08-19 01:46 pm (UTC)(link)
You didn't answer my question though. It sounds like you didn't have much of a childhood.
conscire: (ғᴏᴜʀᴛᴇᴇɴ)

[personal profile] conscire 2016-08-19 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I was never a child.
beyondme: (Like a waterfall)

[personal profile] beyondme 2016-08-20 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ He blinks. ]

Then what were you?

[ Though what are you seems more appropriate. ]
conscire: (ᴛᴇɴ)

[personal profile] conscire 2016-08-20 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
What I've always been. A woman.
beyondme: (They left a swimming pool)

[personal profile] beyondme 2016-08-21 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Forgive me if I don't seem fully convinced.
conscire: (ɴɪɴᴇ)

[personal profile] conscire 2016-08-22 12:45 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't have to be, I've got nothing to prove.
beyondme: (I hit a wall)

[personal profile] beyondme 2016-08-23 09:43 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds tough in its own right.
