Imagine being able to remember every single day of your life, all the way back to when you were a newborn.
Australian woman Rebecca Sharrock is one of only 60 people in the world with a highly superior autobiographical memory (HSAM), also known as hyperthymesia.
Wish she could share a slice of that power with me. I’m, like, 85% the opposite of that.
I feel like growing up I was really good at remembering things. Here I am over 40 and it’s starting to be worrisome of the things I have forgotten. It’s scary when someone brings up things that happened 20 years ago, and I struggle to remember what happened, or even worse, not remember it at all… the weird part is there are things my brain won’t forget at all like when I listen to music I can recall specific songs playing, who I was with, and what we were doing like a decade ago with no problem.
Same here, except when it’s not important, then I have perfect recall.
Saaaaame. Why are we like this 😅
