    Oh, this is exactly how my memory works. I can’t really remember the day I got married… It’s less than a decade ago.

    It’s quite embarrassing.

    First I thought it was because I didn’t really care too much about the episodes I couldn’t remember, but I would really like to keep these kinds of memory. I’ve always been kind of being scared of being predisposed for dementia or similar…

    I’ve never researched this, but now I will.

    The other kind of memory, the factual memory, is apparently called semantic memory.

    The you more know…

      It’s called SDAM(severly deficient autobiographical memory), saves you some time. Just an extreme end of human memory variation.
