RE: Do I really remember those moments?

in Throwback Thursday2 months ago

That's interesting!
Some years ago I've read that even the things we remember from many years ago, we do not remember as they really happened. Each time we think or talk about events from our past we (or our brain) slightly change elements of it, intentionally or unintentionally/unconsciously. Since I read that, I am more careful when telling a story from my past, as it may have never happened that way 😉

That can indeed be the thing. Our perception even changes from day to day, not to mention the memories from childhood. Although the essential facts can't be changed, we probably colour our own life story adding different nuances each time we recall a memory. 😃
