On Memories

I do not have many memories of my childhood. Not because of some traditional trauma, or not having done things, but because I think at some level I just didn't want to maintain them as that life and my life up until recently never felt like mine. It was a version of me playing a version of me that society and those around me wanted me to be. As I sit here and write, I can truly only think of 10 or so clear memories from my pre-pubescent childhood, and only a handful from my teenage years. Some are bad, some are good, but the ones I can remember do feel like me in the present, or are very strongly related to transitioning.

Now which group do you think I am talking about.
