Sometimes you think you remember something but you can’t find reference to it. No one else seems to remember it. You start to doubt yourself. Hard. “Did I invent that? Is that a figment of my imagination? Am I lying?”
This happened to me with a song. I couldn’t find it anywhere.
This happened to me with a song. I couldn’t find it anywhere.
In my mind, it was called “Standing on the Corner” and it was uptempo & put me in a good mood. I thought it was sung by Chris Youlden. But all references went to the Four Lads. Or Dean Martin. People would assure me that was the song. But I couldn’t accept that. That song sucked!
Then I would be assured that our “minds play tricks”. That “Memory is a funny thing” and that “You should be happy that your imagination came up with a song you like!” All very understanding. Eventually this made me feel crazy. How could that be?!?
So, many years ago, I gave up.

How could something exist and the internet not know it? To this day I don’t think Spotify has it.
But then, I checked back in.
And there it was...and exactly as it was in my mind. Someone actually had to video a turntable playing it!

Moral: you aren’t losing your mind just because you‘re the only one who remembers or believes something. You may be crazy, but that isn’t a legitimate argument on its own. The 🌎 can still seem to forget things in the age of Google & you may be one of the only ones who remember.
