If it helps, I can tell you that as we grow older -and often without realising it, we settle into a
manner of categorising what our objectives are and there is a marked difference from when we
were in our teens and middle age.
Small incidents and regular habits become more important and sometimes to miss something in
a daily task can bring on a feeling that it one's mind that may be failing. I can assure you it isn't.
In one's early years, there are many balls to juggle including the art of learning to be an adult in
a system that demands attention. Relationships need constant monitoring, acquiring money to
live a better life and then the daunting aspect of raising a family, all facets that the average adult
deals with and certainly not components of a good existence that one would wish to fail at.
Blame is a great demon to have on one's back, we cannot avoid its constant whispering and our
vigilance to not have others see us flounder in our duties is one of the major reasons we dream.
Hence, one focuses on the obligations one has agreed to and even seek emotional benefits from
what we do.
But the routines becomes easier as one adjusts to the harness of these regular features in our lives
and eventually these standards are absorbed so deeply that one doesn't realise that what one once
was -our self, is bandaged in this code of behaviour and we get used to looking upon them as mere
formalities.
The bottom-line is that the older one becomes, the less balls one needs to juggle. But since the majority
of people have spent their lives in the many styles of the hamster-wheel of betterment, one still feels the
'muscle-memory' of our earlier times.
So, to fill in the gaps of what was once a busy lifestyle, we fill in the spaces of previous responsibilities
with smaller routines, mundane tasks that one convinces oneself are as meaningful as other undertakings
of one's past.
However, they are embellishments of the genuine important tasks of earlier times and our subconscious
know it! Yet, we dress them up as essential acts and assume that one's same muscle-memory will hold
them to a high standard of previous functions.
If I may, it's not dementia... we just sometimes miss catching one of the balls because it wasn't that
important as other things we've done in our past.
