Imagine being able to remember every single day of your life, all the way back to when you were a newborn.

I don’t envy her one bit.
dunno, i have perfect recall of just my cringy shitty memories already.
might as well remember some useful shit.
Wish she could share a slice of that power with me. I’m, like, 85% the opposite of that.
Same here, except when it’s not important, then I have perfect recall.
Saaaaame. Why are we like this 😅
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.
I think I’m dating her
They have finally identified my polar opposite. According to prophecy, she must be my super villain! I think. I can’t really remember.
“You did this to me! You turned me into this monster!”
“I have never seen you before in my life”
She would remember if she had.
This is me except I only remember the embarrassing things
I’m pretty sure this is what Tim Rogers from Action Button Reviews has. His masterpiece Boku no Natsuyasumi review goes into a lot of detail about it. The end of part 5 had me literally sobbing in my chair for the first time in perhaps 20-some-odd years, followed immediately by a very confused laughing at a surprise hbomberguy appearance. I’d highly recommend watching it - it’s quite the long form journey.
