Do you ever wish you could erase certain memories so you could experience things for the first time again?

I hate that craving for novel experiences. Things like reading a really good book or going to a new park with your SO. I just wanna have as much fun as I did the first time, y’know? Shit you can only skydive so many times before it gets boring lol

Never thought about it, but it's an interesting idea. I don't think I would. I definitely have some unwanted memories I wouldn't mind discarding though

If I could go back I'd erase memory of video games. Then I'd play them all again.

This is honestly my perspective on the necessity of death. It's kind of like.. virtuosity. At least for me as a musician I really enjoy the experience of making music. But part of that experience is growing and maturing as an individual and appreciating the progress. "I did that." Musicians always get a little wet over well place virtuosity. You want that experience. That new hotness, the pride of accomplishment. People tend to idolize one person or another. So you try and get in their head and you realize all that shit that makes you sweat a little just thinking about trying to understand it is just something that equates to background noise in their head. Idk how many times I've read or watched interviews where a musician is asked what goes on in their head and they're thinking about some bullshit like fried chicken or family stuff. It becomes routine. There's people out there living other's dreams and it just routine monotony. It's repetition. It's just kind of something you do at that point. And it's fucking sad, and heartbreaking, to realize so often are these talented people without inspiration if only because they walk that same path - Every. Single. Day. Fuck do I ever wish driving a car could be so interesting again. As it is I'm in for 50 years of trying not to fall asleep.

My dads always learning new skills even at 60. I hope I can maintain that kind of enthusiasm for life but fuck man it just gets so monotonous sometimes. If I had more money I guess it might be a different story but right now it’s just clock in clock out smoke weed, go for walks, read, sleep. I used to get annoyed by people talking about how jaded they are but now it feels like I’m one of them

this is what its all about, you gotta find a career that has you doing something completely new all the time. what that could be I dont know
also I wonder what if that is what life is like for people with horrible long term memory and whatever else is associated with wearing things out. like they just live life like a goldfish nothing gets old but they dont know wtf is happening lol

I would never erase the things I’ve learned with glassblowing, and the monotony only means I haven’t tried to learn anything new. Tough question tbh, but no I would keep my traumas. I would keep my levelheadedness over being fixated on this “new novel thing” that I “totally have no idea what it’s gonna be like but it’s gonna be awesome man.”

Well yeah I wouldn’t wanna forget any skills I’ve developed lol. I’m just talking about stuff that tends to lose its luster like finding a trail that goes off into the woods or a movie with a crazy twist

I am way to deductive and started rationalizing that the cost benefit of this is yea everything is novel but that I would be forgetting the last time I had that experience. Thus things like glassblowing or certain sports or even things you read will always seem “fresher” you will inevitably give up a more nuanced understanding of those very things you desire to make novel.

I wish I could erase some memories, but not so I could re-live them in any way shape or form. The good memories I would never erase because they are an integral part of my psychological make-up no (bad ones too unfortunately). I feel like playing with memories is akin to opening Pandora's Box in your in own head.

if you feel the need to erase memories just to regain the luster, you're doing it wrong. that feeling comes back on it's own with time. HOW long depends on the individual - for me it takes quite a while for certain things, simply due to the fact i have a pretty dang good memory if it's a fun experience.
how do i handle it? simple. i try other novel things. i try to learn other new skills. enjoyed a great book? ok! i read another one, maybe from the same author! i know! i'll read the forgotten realms novels! all. 250+. of them. (that took me almost a year.) (i'm a fast reader.) (they're really great.) maybe i'll take up origami and challenge myself on how complicated a model i can do until i get bored, maybe learn how to make tissue foil for fancier models. maybe i'll take up sewing today in case i need to repair a tear in my pants.
maybe today i feel artsy and will try practice drawing, or learning 3D modeling! or perhaps ill try just playing a new video game, or practicing a new cooking dish! maybe i'll just relax and try listening to some new songs i haven't heard before. there's so many interesting new things to try, that by the time you get back to that novel thing you wished you could experience for the first time again... you will go back to that old book, months or years later... and pick it up...
and you will read it again. and there will be things in there that you will realize you didn't notice the first time. you may remember the general outline of the story, but there will be details you missed the first time, and you will be like...wait a sec, i don't remember this happening? and there will be things that you read that suddenly make sense that didn't the first time through, because all those new experiences you had in those months since give you a new perspective.
or you will be like me and wind up picking up a new 2003 edition of the dark tower series and discovering it is an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT MONSTER FROM THE ORIGINAL AND BE COMPLETELY CONFUSED AND FREAKED OUT because it was COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from the original series and HOLY SHIT IT WAS EPIC BECAUSE OF THIS because it totally made me feel like i'd todashed into another multiverse entirely and i'm still not entirely sure i haven't. that was the most epic thing ever because my memories of how the story went and how the novels went down totally diverged at a lot of points and left me deliciously lost.
so yeah. i don't really ever wish for my memories to be erased. if i had, that magic would've never happened, now would it?
