The Day It Slipped My Mind: Learning the Hard Way

I have had so many instances of forgetfulness that some of my friends even tried to correct me to adjust myself so that if care is not taken, it will affect me in the future. I don't just forget things; I also forget faces sometimes of people that are not really close to me but see often, and not just that I have some bad caring attitude toward misplacing things.

Sometimes, I feel my forgetfulness is a disability that needs to be corrected or adjusted because, most times, I forget it's not intentional; I am sure I am not the only one in this category.

There are some of my memories of forgetfulness that I still remember that is like a life lesson to me but still, there weren't changes this is why I kind of classify it as a disability;

• I remember not long ago maybe like last 3 weeks I was rushing for a work interview so I turned on my gas to cook indomie then after the indomie was done I forgot to turn off my gas completely I just felt like the light was off already ita off and then skipped my mind away from there, 4-5 hours later after I got from the interview, I could smell the gas from my entrance it was smelt like there was a gas leakage in my room, I had to rush to the kitchen and I saw my gas was still on, thank goodness there was no fire around if not there would have been a serious fire outbreak from there and I would have lost most of my property that moment.

• Another experience was that there was this crush of mine that I promised to go out with, so we fixed a date which happened to be on Tuesday and it was just 4 days ahead of the day, I had ironed all my clothes and everything and was readily preparing for the day, we fixed a time which is 4pm, so on this day we were supposed to meet I had friends at home, we talked and gist later we then left to play basketball in the afternoon, honestly I forgot I had my crush hanging, she got to the date venue, my phone was ringing but I couldn't hear it because I was on the court already playing basketball, to cut the long story short that was how she took me to be an unserious man even though it wasn't intentional, I felt really bad that day when she spoke. When I told my friends about this, they said how could I forget such a thing.

I have had several experiences that make me classify it as a disability even though I keep on saying it was never intentional. I have once woken up to forget a friend's wedding that was meant to take place that morning. Fortunately, I received a call from a friend, and I had to act along so they wouldn't notice I forgot such a thing.

Presently now, since I started to engage in self-improvement acts, like exercising and also waking up early to reflect on things around me for 10-15 minutes, I have noticed a lot of changes around me. There are several other self-improvement actions I take, like reading books, watching motivational talks and several others.
