Why do (sometimes) seemingly unimportant moments really stick as detailed memories, and some seemingly very important moments are hard to recall?

At times, apparently mundane memories are really easy to recall, and moments you think ‘I want to remember this in detail, even gonna do an eye-camera pan of the scene’ don’t come back that easy. Why?

The mundane is easy.

Novel moments aren’t easily expressed. They’re fleeting, transients, that slip from grip.

If you really want to remember something spectacular, you need to put your brain into write mode.

You just absorb it. Don’t think about how much you want to remember it, or you’ll just remember wanting to remember it.

Live it fully, without question or hesitation and it’ll last forever. Be careful though, you might start preferring the past to the present. That’s not helpful in any way. So be sure to keep looking forwards.
