Moving through life, ignoring your reality can be a helpful trick. It will ease the pain for now, but it is still just a trick. If you condition your brain to block new information and memories, don’t be surprised when your memory fails you.
I dedicated two hours to myself, locked in my room, blindfolded, to sculpt a lamb from memory. This was a test of my cognitive memory and ultimately a self-portrait reflected through the transfer of the blindfold onto the sacrificial lamb.
