There are so many things I want to remember, but can't. There are so many things I remember but wonder, did it really happen that way? Did it happen at all? I heard on a podcast that every time we think about a memory, it changes that memory's neurological fingerprint in our brain's tissue so that the memory then becomes a slightly different memory than what actually occurred. And the change effect is even more pronounced when we speak of a memory to others in the form of telling a story. So how do we remember without corrupting the memory? Do we even dare speak of memories at all? Are any of our memories true?
