The time I figured out Bunning's plan to pave over our community garden was actually my idea from 2019
I spent two years fighting the city council's proposal to turn the lot on 14th Street into a parking garage, thinking it was some outside developer's scheme. Then I found my own old letter to the editor from 2019 where I literally suggested turning that same lot into a 'revenue-generating structure' to fund the park fund. How do you get past the embarrassment of opposing the exact thing you pushed for?

Read that same article, wild how much our brains just make stuff up.

Man, I just read this article about how we're all really bad at remembering our own past opinions, and it's like our brains rewrite the story to make us look consistent. Honestly, that's rough but at least you're owning the cringe.

Huh, I guess I see it the opposite way. Sounds more like your brain is just trying to keep things tidy so you don't go crazy second-guessing every dumb thing you said five years ago.
