I have in order of past to furure: the distant past, memory of the last specificly distinct dated event, recent past (roughly since), “last week” (i remember doing that), “yesterda” (last 3 days), earlier today”, last, current, next, today/hoperfully soon, and not any time soon

Childhood in the 80's

Teen years in the 90's

Student years till mid 00's

Resent past and some stuff happening. Last 20+ years.

So, mentally I still see myself 30+ years old.

Life memories seems to pace according to significant changes.

This is something I really struggle with. Last month and ten years ago are basically the same thing for me. Makes it difficult to remember to book doctor appointments and stuff. I've had two wisdom teeth I've been wanting to remove for almost six years now. Almost had it, but then I had to move to different city for school.

Gosh, I haven't considered it before. The area does interest me, I've been trying to make a memory Gantt Chart style app to help me visualise my past timeline.

I guess in 'eras'.

Then although that was 10 years or so ago it's a fuzzy recent memory soup from then to now.

Past, present and future. That's the best i can do, but i have memory issue as well.

Past is just everything that has happened in the past in one big pile. For some things I can figure out a rough timeframe when it happened, but thats usually playing detective not act remembering whennit exactly happened.

Present is it, +-few hours or a day.

Future, maybe a week into the future, but thats about it. Far future doesn't exist, it's just made up.
