Hiya Tooba! It totally sounds like you and I are on the same wavelength. I've noticed many of the same things.
I've kept a regular journal since I was about 9 years old and when I read through my live, I've noticed two things. 1) What I remember about a past event often differs from what I wrote at the time I occured. Sometimes the discrepancy is huge and other times just a little off. 2) My strongest memories are the ones that impacted me enough to shift the course of my life or perception of life.
I just followed you back and will read some of your articles. Thank you for sharing, and for you kindness. I appreciate you
