No memory is ever alone; it's at the end of a trail of memories, a dozen trails that each have their own associations.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Memory is a fiction we tell ourselves: just a piece of the truth.
A memory is what is left when something happens and does not completely unhappen.
It's surprising how much memory is built around things unnoticed at the time.
Memory is a way of telling you what's important to you.
Memory is the way we keep telling ourselves our stories - and telling other people a somewhat different version of our stories.
A lot of people can't remember things because they weren't actually there to begin with - they don't take it all in.
Even as I think of myself as a 'rememberer,' I also know my memory is probably doing all this work to reconstruct a narrative where I come off better.
Memory is the thing you forget with.
Memories are like stones, time and distance erode them like acid.
Memories are what you no longer want to remember.
