You don't remember what happened. What you remember becomes what happened.
- John Green, Author of The Fault in Our Stars
They say we make terrible witnesses because our memories are imperfect. They also say we only remember about 10 % of what we hear or see. We'll remember more if we've written or acted on the information we're trying to recall. Then there's the whole filter thing. Our opinions and values affect how we absorb information. We also have a hard time admitting certain truths because we often disappoint ourselves. I'm not sure why this is so painful, but we end up feeling ashamed. I wish we could be kinder to ourselves. Just sayin' :) Hugs.
Blessings,
