Kin memories are any kind of memory (flashback, intuition, sensation memory, innate knowledge, etc,) that someone who is kin has about their life as their…

Hi! I need some help! I’ve been questioning five characters who are very good friends, so I’ve been feeling “drawn” to all of them. I’ve been trying to find out who’s the kintype for weeks, but it just gets more difficult. Do you have any advice?

My advice is to keep searching and listening to yourself. Try to slowly rule people out. Try to reach out for memories whose point of…

Idk about past life memories, cause theyre all in first person, but I know that this life has zero first person memories, all third. Maybe it’s the way the brain processes memories, for example if u had a mental prob u don’t have or vice versa

I agree that memory perspective is probably at least partly linked to physical brain architecture and chemistry at the time the memory is formed, and…

Is it normal to have some memories that are in first person point of view, while others are in third? I don’t know why they’re like that but I can’t shake the feeling that they are indeed memories

The mind is very weird, anon. This doesn’t strike me as particularly impossible. I wonder if there are any common elements between the memories in…

Foggy memory anon: Thank you! I was worried because everyone talks about vivid memories they have, and I was worried mine weren’t actually memories.

Glad to help, anon. 🙂 Sometimes my memories don’t come until I have to essentially ‘fact check’ something and find that the info was in my…

Can memories be foggy and more like ‘facts’ that you know, similar to the way you remember how to spell words but you often don’t remember when you were taught how to spell it?

Absolutely, this is often how a lot of my memories are.

I’ve been getting many kin memories but like,, almost all of them are very tiny things like what their favorite ice cream is and where they hung out at home, is that alright???

That’s totally normal, anon. Most of my memories are small moments like that, that are only significant to me.

Can trauma carry over into this life? For example, in my canon I was a soldier in WWII, and all of this life, long before I knew I was kin, I’ve always felt really nervous and shaky around stuff to do with that era, like if I saw stuff about it at museums something. I have PTSD in this life so I know what being triggered is like, and it honestly feels like that?? But I wasn’t sure if this was possible.

Trauma can definitely carry over between lives. Its one of the major flags of being kin. Just make sure you don’t talk over survivors from…

can kin memories just be smells? I was thinking about my past life and I smelt fresh cut grass, really vividly, even though I was inside, and all the grass is dead in my neighbourhood.

They can definitely be just smells. Smell is our most powerful sense memory.

I got a memory for a kintype that I had been trans in that life? But in this life Im not trans? I feel like, talking about that memory would bother people? Or seem rude?? Or something??? Since I’m not trans in this life????

Talk through your memories and feelings, talk about them. Ignore what other people think. Tag them with kin tags. Don’t tag them transgender.
