wow it's been a while since i made a post here
and i've been on this app for a year now, actually
feels like yesterday when we were all shrunk into the size of ants or something

but speaking of my one-year loyalty award in this shitter
i've remembered a lot of things since then and the weirdest thing i've noticed is that
all of my memories so far happened in high school
and it's weird because you'd think we'd get memories of anything beyond that or even before that
but no, it's always that one phase in everyone's life

so my question is: has anyone here remembered more than one phase of their life so far?
like their childhood? or maybe their adult years or whatever?
you don't have to tell me your life story if you don't want to but there's got to be someone out there who actually remembered more than that

as someone who knew a lot of people from that life in this city, it's going to take a while before you can make the connection
it'll come to you at some point, don't worry

but it's either retrospec has been restricting memories from us or we just don't know how to trigger those red flags just yet

But just being around the person in question should be enough to bring about those memories, wouldn't it?

I started getting memories about the person close to me not too long after I got the app, and she's gotten a few of me already as it is... but she lives with the person who remembers the older versions of us, and to my knowledge, she hasn't gotten anything back in regards to him just yet.

But maybe you're right. It could just be a matter of time. It's just... strange that there's nothing he's done to trigger anything thus far, after all this time.

that is odd...
usually the closer they are in the memories the more likely it is for one person to remember the other
at least that's what i think because i did remember most of the people who came from the same world as i did in this city

then again trying to trigger memories on your own can be a hit or a miss
it'll take you a few tries before you can remember the same actions you've done in your memories so it's kind of unreliable at times
might as well let it happen on its own

That's what I've assumed too. He said that he might have served her in his past life, since she was a princess, although that seems kind of off given the memories she and I have gotten as well. He seemed genuine in recognizing us, though, so I doubt he's making it up...

... though I haven't remembered anything about Leon in that other life, and he hasn't mentioned anything about me in his memories, either. Maybe it really isn't as clear cut as that after all.

Do people really try to trigger them on their own, though? How do you know what you may have done if you don't even remember it?

[adoringpast]

it wouldn't do him any good if he's able to put up a lie like that anyway so it's safe to assume that his memories about her are legit
maybe he's remembered the future when he'd served her while you two are remembering each other's childhood?

as for trying to trigger them on your own, i think it's more effective if you have someone who came from the same world as you
the more memories you'll have the more you'll hear about certain events that had happened in your memories
it's usually hit or miss though; it'll take a while for a memory to trigger after a few solid tries
just asking someone else about so-so would usually jog your memory but it's not guaranteed

and leon - well, that's beyond me right now
i haven't seen my own relatives in my own memories for a while now either
