"It is possible to store the mind with a million facts and still be entirely uneducated." - Alec Bourne

I've been reading a book for the past two days that has really captivated me, it's called "Blood Memory." And it's about this lady who was sexually abused when she was young by her grandfather, and seems to have no memories or recollection of the event or her childhood for that matter until recent events trigger panic attacks which brings about her curiosity.

She travels on this meandering path to find out what's hidden in her sub-conscious mind and digs deeper into this particular theory in psychology, repressed memory, whereby a person is able to detach their mind from the situation thus not being able to remember the incident. It's really exciting, definetely worth the read.

Repressed memory? Is it possible? A repressed memory, according to some theories of psychology, is a memory (often traumatic) of an event or environment which is stored by the unconscious mind but outside the awareness of the conscious mind. I've really been asking myself, do I have any repressed memories? And I just pondered on this question for hours on my bed, trying to think of as many significant moments when I was in kindergarten.

But...nothing much really came up. And it sort of frightened me, yea, frightened me. That's right. Another part of my life I have to sort out. But what the heck, solving a problem just creates two more. I think I'll leave my soul searching to later. Sanity is not something I want at the moment, not when I'll be mugging for hours on end for O'levels.

Yours faithfully, with the absence of humanity.
