I've always had this struggle with my mother, who seems to remember everything that happened in her life pretty vividly and can recall it while I only have vague impressions, scenes imprinted in my memory with a vague sense of time associated with it. Like some of my first memories was watching Sonic on the TV, but when that was exactly I haven't a clue.

Only things in the last 10 years are like, memories I can kinda timestamp recall but even then it's kinda vague. It always struck me as weird because are we supposed to seriously remember every day of our lives? That can be a fuck ton of time and brain memory bandwidth to maintain, I feel like I'd go nuts if I could vividly recall so much time.
