Kettle Moraine, WI | And life going faster is our brain forgets the mundane, inconsequential things if our life to try to keep the important things.
When you went to the mailbox and got the mail on some Tuesday morning in September of 1995 is forgotten. If you almost got hit by a passing truck doing so, you would likely retain that memory.
When days are so similar "why remember" is the minds operating default. Personally, the interruption to mundane is when I travel somewhere. Time slows down with the newness and new experience while years later I can remember going to a particular spot or a particular conversation. Memory skips over unimportant.
While I am rambling there is something I started a few years ago that kinda cycles memories. When I go somewhere for a week or two, I take a picture of the room when I wake up in the morning. It still amazes me how quickly all those memories flash back to that moment and thatbtrip. Far more than a picture of some landmark or attraction. | |
