She liked being reminded of butterflies. She remembered being six or seven and crying over the fates of the butterflies in her yard after learning that they lived for only a few days. Her mother had comforted her and told her not to be sad for the butterflies, that just because their lives were short didn't mean they were tragic. Watching them flying in the warm sun among the daisies in their garden, her mother had said to her, see, they have a beautiful life. Alice liked remembering that.

My yesterdays are disappearing, and my tomorrows are uncertain, so what do I live for? I live for each day. I live in the moment. Some tomorrow soon, I'll forget that I stood before you and gave this speech. But just because I'll forget it some tomorrow doesn't mean that I didn't live every second of it today. I will forget today, but that doesn't mean that today didn't matter.

Lisa Genova – Hatırla! (2024)
Lisa Genova’dan nasıl hatırladığımıza, neden unuttuğumuza ve anılarımızı muhafaza etmek için neler yapabileceğimize yönelik büyüleyici bir inceleme. Hiç geçen hafta izlediğiniz filmdeki aktörün ismini hatırlayamayınca panik oldunuz mu? Peki ya odaya ne yapmak için girdiğinizi hatırlayamadığınızda? Eğer kırklı yaşlarınızdaysanız, muhtemelen bu ufak şeyler sizi güldürmek yerine tedirgin…

Para sempre Alice...
Um livro para não esquecer...
Sentei-me aqui para escrever a respeito do livro-lido durante a noite e me perdi da realidade… Na ponta dos dedos e nos lábios uma quietude de palavras. Uma confusão de sentimentos na superfície da pele que resultaram em frases prontas, tatuadas nas paredes dessa masmorra que sou… Recordei o homem da minha infância… a quem eu dava as mãos para caminhar pelas ruas do lugar onde cresci. Íamos os…

Now Watching Still Alice!
Brilliant but sad film. Julianne Moore gives an absolutely fantastic performance. Read the book first though, it really makes a lot of stuff in the movie make more sense.

Memory Issues for People in Their Eighties
Memory Issues for People in Their Eighties
Joe Biden, who just turned 80, will be 86 in 2028 should he be re-elected and serve another four-year term as U.S. President. This has prompted political speculation whether his age is or should be a disqualifying attribute for his seeking re-election. This issue was discussed in an interesting New York Times article about memory issues facing people in their 80’s in the U.S.[1] The article…

AI-Less Whumtober day 18+19
(Yes, I'm late)
Prompt: Warm Soup + Left Behind
Fandom: The Old Guard (movie)
Summary: It's weird, the first death after they've become friends. It hurts. They know it's temporary, but the grief is there, and the fear that this time may be the last one. It's enough to make them worry about how much it will hurt, when one of them goes for real.
