Having a very selective memory is a curse and a blessing. I am glad my hippocampus is not that hyperactive and gives me very little recollection of things. This is probably the reason why I might move on faster than most people. Because I am programmed in a way, that I do not linger.
On another note, having selective memory may not be helpful in the corporafe life. This is why I keep a to-do list of things i need to accomplish on a daily basis. I have to go through my notes over and over again to make sure I do not forget.
It has been a blessing that I was given a partner who has impeccable memory. He serves as my personal information storage, keeping the collection of our stories from way back.
Sometimes, I wish I could remember more details -- what we ate or how things turned out on this important date, details of how my wedding cake looked like. I do not want its other side though -- to remember how painful it was to lose something you cared about so much or how an embarrasing moment devastated me at one moment in my life...
Yeah, I should not mind. I should be thankful with how my brain is screwed. And so, I am.
