You know how when you were little and your parents asked you to imagine sheeps jumping out of fences to help you fall asleep? i always thought it was just a phrase. But back then, i thought everyone's the same, especially when there weren't any discussion about whether we could see things in the mind or not. Until two weeks ago (I'm 28yo) when I saw a story posted on a website talking about people who lack the "minds eyes", when i realize "OMG" this is the last puzzle piece of my confused life...I say its confusing becuase i sometimes feel guilty but not wrong-doing about fading the any emotions of someone I loved/knew so quickly after they passed away or gone from my life just couple days later (my grandparents, my aunt, my dog, my ex, etc). Becuase I couldn't see any images at all, i could only recall memories or faces when I see the pictures. I thought I was cold-hearted, and my friends think that I have the "superpower" to not lingering on the past at all...It all makes sense now. I'm excited to learn about myself more and about this condition, and knowing that I'm not alone in this case makes me feel stronger.
