Heard some friends and family remember a different version of our shared history than I do. Anybody else out there have different memories from people who are close to you?
It's weird! Between us all we have a crap load of photos and videos of events one side or the other doesn't remember. Like a close family friend who was my husband's best man at our wedding- he doesn't remember the wedding but he's there in the photo album. There are gifts that friends don't remember giving. Letters sent to relatives years ago that disappeared because they weren't sent in their memories. Yet all of us have our jobs and our homes from our personal version of history.
Does this mean paradoxes can exist without the universe exploding or something the way it does in sci-fi movies?

Most of your friends? It's harder than I imagined when you find out they don't match up.

it's strange. some of them remember it being weird with me. some of them think i'm the weird one. i don't have too clear of a memory of what happened over the summer either way and i don't think i like it. i don't like that all these things happened that i can't remember. i'm only 21, i should have a better memory than that.
