I remember trying real hard to remember the moment because I knew my brain was foggy and not recording up until that moment. Like a brain bicep cured for awareness, trying to practice being aware since I noticed how important it was that I was ‘awake’ and that i needed to keep that ish up. Felt like trying to resist passing out sort of.

My first memory was Han rubbing down the Death Star in A New Hope
It was the original 1977 edition on VHS

I can still recall memories from when I was a baby. But my first feeling of consciously realizing my own sentience was probably around age 4. I remember being at preschool, and looking down at the mole on my hand and wordlessly thinking something along the lines of “I am Rose, no one else is, and no one else has this dot in this spot on their hand” (I have no internal dialog but that was the translation).

Taking off all my clothes in the back yard – because it was HOT!
I lived in South Australia at the time.

I don’t know what age I was at my earliest memory, I do have a school memory though with the date “11/11/11” so that’s fun, I would’ve been 4yo by then, and yes I could read at least numbers (though I feel like it would be uncommon if you couldn’t)

I still remember my first dat of kindergarten. I still remember going to daycare for the first time before I even went to day care. Sadly after that, or before, all my memories are mixed up in time. And I’m not sure when they take place.
