Does that also make those moments more memorable? I don't have any experience in it, but seems like an interesting possibility that when things seem to slow down you remember them better. Or maybe you remember them even less?

Is an experience only fun or valuable when you can remember it? What does that say about all the things we remember incorrectly?
Good question. My early 20s are a blur, partly because of recreational substances I ingested. At the time, the days felt long and full. The experience isn’t less fun or valuable but I wish I could access all of those memories.
It’s not that I worry about the accuracy of the memories I’ve retained. I am saddened by the gaps in what I remember.
