It’s like having PTSD about falling off a bicycle when you were 12, and after decades of therapy you’ve managed to come to terms with it but would never wish it on your worst enemy.

Seriously, forgetting saves you all from horrifying trauma. I can’t imagine why everyone wants to remember more.

My brother is the same. His memory is phenomenal and it torments him every hour of every day.
