Just a tip for everyone: if you want to remember someone’s face, instead of flat out trying to remember their features, try to imagine them doing something, maybe making a silly face or smiling, something that they would do a lot. I find even though it’s still hard to remember what the persons face looks like, this helps a little :) Edit: Thank you everyone for the 5k likes, I mean-- I hate it when people do this, but I just wanted to say thank you, this isn’t about any likes, I could care less about that: I'm just glad I could help out the people who responded in the comments in what little way I could :) I hope you all have a wonderful day!

As someone who has memory loss, this captures what I go through perfectly. I forget where I am, who I am, and certain things about me. I even forget faces after just a minute. And I always mix up words and say nonsense. I'm not always aware of the things I say. In fact, I don't remember most of today, what was said at dinner less than 20 minutes ago, and so much more. Sometimes we just forget who we are as a person and other ppl we love and care abt. It's nothing like forgetting what you had for lunch 6 years ago. I showed my brother this and he called jack stauber over-dramatic. This IS really what it feels like. I can say that this really is what its like. Its not just forgetting certain things, its losing sight of who you are and those who you care about. Jack be doin us justice with this animation

I still remember the last time I saw her, she didn't really wanted to be seen in that state, but she still got out of bed to talk to me. I knew deep in my heart that that was the last time I was going to see her, I kind of prepared myself for it. I loved her laugh, more than anything. I still remember her voice, I still remember the way her short hair fell from her head, I remember her running behind me to take the avocados we took from the tree in front of my house, I remember her position while sitting on the chair in her balcony, I remember how she helped me hide from my father when I wanted to stay with her instead of going home, the way she offered me to watch TV at her house when she couldn't stay with me or didn't have time to talk. But I forgot the sound of her laughter, and am slowly forgetting her smile and her face. It's terrifying, and sad, and I'm helpless against it. I miss you, Alicia.

[@weeheezer]

i've always been a fan of jack stauber's work, and after not watching ' library ' for years i was recommended it today. my re-watch warranted emotions that i've been pushing down for quite a while. when i first watched this i was young, 12 to be exact; now i'm turning 18 soon and lost my mother a little over a year ago; and what people fail to tell you when someone incredibly close to you dies is that in-fact, you will start to forget what they look like. the brain is always changing and re-remembering things, and your loved ones are no different. i find myself laying in bed a lot, simply trying to piece together my own mothers face in my memory and often times it DOES lead to things like this claymation; features that don't fit, or are too inhuman to be who you love. " you can't remember what she looks like? " is something that will forever haunt me.

[@blackrosejinx5563]

The guy started to cry after making up the mom’s face. That adds a whole layer of depression to this

[@marcostsuna1]

the thing is: No one really remembers what anyone looks like when they're not seeing their face. You're always making their faces up based on their general shapes. Glimpses from your memory that are in a very low resolution. Or, you remember only specifics about them, and try to piece togheter the face. But you're never really sure. And the longer you go without looking at them, even if in photos, the harder it is to remember their faces well. Do you remember YOUR face, without looking at it? I don't.

When I look at his picture, suddenly things make more sense. The puzzle pieces click into place. I think about our moments at the carnival, and at hockey games. Going out to eat. The times I'd stay over at his house and wake up in the morning to eat Fruity Pebbles and cinnamon toast in front of a Nickelodeon show. And then I hear his voice. A cheerful, slightly gravelly voice from the countless cancer sticks he smoked. "Whatcha doin' there, skipper?" And then I say, "Oh, I'm just--" Right. I'm doing math homework...and his voice becomes drowned out by the voice in my brain narrating the equations for me...back to work...back to work...back to work...back to
