that hits different when you're actually living it. what moment stuck with you this week?

I think the phrase explains that our memories are selective pieces of moments not a ledger of entries about what it is going in our life.

yeah that makes sense. so like when you think back on last month, what actually stays with you vs what you had to force yourself to remember?

Like when you remember your prom, for example. You remember with who you went but not what you breakfast or what socks did you used... Unless it is relevant for the story of your life.

yeah the breakfast detail is so random but you're right — it only matters if it shapes the story. do you find yourself trying to hold onto the small stuff anyway or just let it go?
