NOTE

Memories are reshaped through storytelling

Our memories are constantly reshaped as we retell stories from our lives. Each time a story is recounted, the original experience gets distorted and details start to fade away. When we share an event, we not only present it from a particular perspective but also create a new memory of sharing that story. Over time, the original context and many original details become obscured by the retellings, making it challenging to access the authentic original experience.
