Do your oldest memories have other people in them?

Completely random thread.

I was thinking other day about life long memories. And I kind of realised that most of my strongest ones (good and bad) have very very few other people in.

A few of the bad ones. But almost none of the good ones.

Most of the strong good ones are experiences (sky dive) or nature based (seeing a rare butterfly when I was a kid)
Or pet based (playing hide and seek with my Jackdaw).


I don't know if this is extremely weird. It feels like some of them at least should include loved ones?

Let loose gd!

I am the same age as yourself 413x. My memories are already becoming a bit of a blur. Maybe because I am constantly making new ones?

I remember my dog on my 7th birthday (I didn't get the dog for my birthday) and again when she passed when I was 19. I was with my mum but I only really remember being in the vet's with the dog. Sad times.

Its weird. I can remember seeing my first emperor moth. I must have been so young. It was my parents first house. Things like that are clear as day. But they are almost always on my own.

I remember lifting the piece of wood and there it was.
 
I hate that sometimes I don't know if a memory is actually a picture of the event I've seen. Or even a fabrication from a story etc.

There are lots definitely aren't.
It's kind of sad we often remember so little of lif .
 
Just reading this thread brings back more memories. Actually with people. Maybe I'm not at weird

Remember playing in the farm pool with my cousins. And an old friend building a den around some of the trees in the scrub in the garden. Climbing the grain pile (super dangerous lol).
Oh and really dangerous, holding onto a pallet with my cousin tied to the back of a pick up truck driving with my uncle driving in big circles until we flew off!

Actually thinking about my upbringing it's crazy how it's shaped me.

I like nature because I grew up on a farm seeing all birds and playing outside building dams, dens and rubble houses.

I love the water because I spent so much time in the farm pool. I can't remember learning how to swim. So I can't remember not being able to swim.


Edit.. I remember my mum telling me to burn the old caravan when I was young. Good Times! How could I forget that!
