how does remembering super far back memories work?

455 views

I dont know, if i even worded this right.

But i have this recurring memory(flashback?) Of the ONE time i went to speech therapy when i was like 4 or 5.

I cant even remember what i ate last week but i remember this vividly as if it just happened but its been 11 or 12 years.

How does that work? Why does this happen?

Memory is a performative reiteration of the story of self. Your memory of the event remains (somewhat) fresh because you constantly recall it only to recommit it to memory, this time remembering having remembered it.
