My earliest memory would be significantly before kindergarten, I think. I feel as though I have flashes of things prior to that, but I feel certain I'm making those up. And at the very least, I can't place them in time.
I recall running around in a red sweater near the rabbit hutch at my pre-school. There's also something involving mashing a banana in a plastic bag with grape juice ... which is kind of nasty looking.
That has to put me around 5 or so.
The only thing that seems especially memorable was the rabbit hutch ... I've always loved rabbits. I miss them so.
But this personality doesn't seem to be continuous with myself. It's hard to describe exactly why, but it just doesn't feel like me. Young and ignorant. Innocent, perhaps. But then, trying to decide when I first started to feel like me, even three years ago seems like a different person. But three years ago, I remember feeling like a different person than I was three years before that ...
And looking back on it now, the person I was three years ago seems very like the person I was six years ago, so I don't know how to interpret that.
I think you remember the rabbit hutch was largely due to the fact that you like rabbits. The mashing banana in a plastic bag with grape juice seems like a random memory but I think it's very visual. the mashing up of fruits involves many sense. Visual sense as in seeing the fruits deformed into new shapes. Sense of smell is involved here too.
