My earliest memory is back when I was four years old. I remember this because i was about to die in swimming pool. I clearly remember the sight. I was sinking in the adult's swimming pool and I kept looking up. I saw sunligt comming through the water and bright light blue colour. Suddenly, a guy with green shirt dived into the pool and rescued me.
I relate to this memory because one of my earliest memories was also of me almost drowning. I was in a jacuzzi with my sister's friends and they did not realize that I was actually drowning. I cried so hard after. There are many more almost-drowning incidents as well, but luckily I know how to swim now!
I also realize that many of my younger memories are mostly visual without verbal thought and I think this is what you illustrate here.
