Often, our mind is so occupied with things that we are likely to forget certain events or plans that we had, and that simple act will lead to something else entirely.
"I keep forgetting because I'm human as well." Now you might be wondering how I found myself in that situation. I have a secretary at the office where I work who thinks someone around my age shouldn't forget things. At those moments of having these conversations, I would be like (ooh wow), so I don't have the right to forgetting things because I'm way younger than her, sometimes I feel like she is joking, but then when I sit down and those words start roaming in my head, I would just smile and be like "forgetting is part of the human race".
One thing about the term (forgetting), we don't forget because we want to. I've found myself in a situation where I've planned something significant, every day that goes by, I would remind myself and be like "Tari," you have this thing coming up" When the time is very close, other things would occupy my head to the point that I would forget that I have something set up already to attend to. Then, after a while, I would be faced with the reality that, indeed, forgetfulness is real and it's inevitable sometimes, no matter how hard I try not to forget things.
So, a time when I forgot something of importance, in the early part of last year, I'd been applying for different job roles, and a few of them sent me an email to confirm my application for the role and show some form of appreciation. This particular one did the same thing, and after a few days, I was scheduled for a physical interview.
I always told myself that I'd be going for that interview and nothing was gonna stop me, "not even my village people," so I kept it like a reminder in my head because they say sometimes the head is the best place to keep as a reminder but then how true is that? When you have some other things on your table, "the head" like my friend would always say, "the head is full." When the head is full to the brim, certain things won't be able to enter again, even if it does, they won't stay stuck to the head like glue.
I thought my head was gonna do the honors of keeping my forthcoming interview in check and would remind me of it. A few days before the event (interview), I still checked my mail and knew I had something to do the following day. The day started, and I had my corporate wear on already, patiently waiting for the time so I could go for the interview and show them what I've got as a person who is fit for the job.
Then, all of a sudden, something happened, and before I knew it, the time had passed, and I didn't know what to do at that moment; I didn't know if I was to go for the interview or just forget about it since nature had already dealt with me. That was how an interview I had skipped from my mind in just a few minutes.
How did I feel about that experience? Well, I didn't feel proud of myself for the fact that I forgot something that important.
