The 'Forgetting Curve'

When i was writing my first book, which was a family memoir, pet, i was doing kind of two things at once. So there was literally the reconstruction of history and the reconstruction of memory. My guiding light on memory and how it works was a quot i read a million years ago. I also think that there's an argument to be made against the desire to remember so much. There are mental illnesses associated with remembering too much like rumination.
