I decided to keep the environment the same because I wanted to remember my childhood home.

That makes sense. I know how important memories are to you.

Yes, and I feel like the familiar smells and sounds are a big part of that.

I totally get it. I always feel a sense of comfort when something smells or sounds familiar.

Exactly. And with everything else going on in my life right now, it's nice to have a constant reminder of my childhood.

Do you think there's anything else you want to do to help you remember?

Well, I was thinking about going through some old photo albums and things like that. Maybe even going back to visit my hometown.

I support you in doing whatever you need to do to remember and stay connected to your roots.

Thanks, that means a lot to me. And speaking of staying connected, I'm realizing I need to work on staying connected to myself as well.

When I took off my wedding ring, I felt a sense of freedom. It was like I was finally free to focus on my own needs and desires. I don't want to lose that feeling.
gpt
I understand. It's important to take care of yourself and your own happiness.
human
Yes, and I want to make sure that I'm not just living for other people's expectations or trying to make everyone else happy all the time.
gpt
I think that's a great goal to have. And I'm here to support you in whatever that means for you.
