Day 313, Not that subject again?

Apologies if I've said this before.

I used to know someone that repeated themselves.

It wasn't apparent at first, but over time the same things would keep on coming round.

Not just the odd phrase or a variation on a story, but entire stories.

Probably more than stories, more like performances, with every intonation, aside, laugh and comment identical each time.

When my Grandmother was well into her eighties she used to repeat things.

Often many times during a single visit.  Part of the ageing process, gradual dementia.

But not like this story repetition, this was due to having a limited supply of stories.

Having more stories would be the answer.

Maybe they have more stories now.

It becomes tedious hearing the same stories again and again, even when the stories are good.

It is important to always keep adding stories.

Life changes the context, people eventually may not understand your old stories.

It isn't always possible to provide context to help them understand stories, there may be such a gulf.

And so it is important to always keep adding stories.

Adding experiences.

Adding layers.

Adding depth.
