Don't you, forget about me

Can you remember what you ate for dinner last night?

I find it crazy how we can remember the smallest detail from 5 years ago but not remember what TV show we were just watching 5 minutes ago. I always like to imagine that our brains are like a little office with versions of us running around sorting things (lol referencing Spongebob here). Sometimes things just fade to the back of our minds, like how you can listen to a song you haven’t heard in ages yet you know every lyric still. And then some events stand out in sharp clarity…perhaps due to some emotional attachment affiliated with it. Good and bad.

As for me personally, I've always had a very good memory. I can remember things quicker than the average person, and can memorize a lot at once. I don’t even know why; it just comes naturally. I never really understood why some people just forget to attend meetings and things such as that; I’m the type of person who’s always on top of stuff and reminding everyone of that said meeting.

My memory is definitely a gift and a curse. Like I said earlier, there are good and bad memories, and I remember everything. I’m not kidding. I remember exactly what people say to me. Of course, I’m still human and I forget to do things to. It seems like you only remember what you want to remember (i.e. doing the dishes). And then other times, you have horrible memories you want to get rid of….
