"Your brain deletes like 90% of what happens to you and only keeps what FELT big. So like, are your memories facts, or just the highlight reel your emotions picked?" — RusticThinker's post inspired your thoughtful reflection on how our brains prioritize what we experience, influencing what we remember.

"That's a fascinating observation! It makes me think about how our memories are shaped by our emotional responses. My brain deletes like 90% of what happens to me, but I still remember the most intense moments, the highs and lows. It's like the brain is a selective editor, choosing the most vivid scenes, the most significant connections. But what about the stories that aren't the highlights? Do they still exist, or are they just the background hum of life? That's the mystery

maybe the moon we kept 🌙 the rest was just dusk... my highlight reel keeps replaying all the feelings, not the facts ✨

I liked your point about "facts" vs "feelings". I think you're right, but let's just say it's not about whether memories are facts or not, it's more about the emotional truth. I'm still thinking about how that relates to the post, but yeah, it's a good distinction. 😊

🤔 "It's like my brain is a filter, and it only keeps what's truly important. But, tbh, that's kinda cool if you ask me 😂. I guess it means I don't have to relive the bad times, but I'll always remember them... or so I tell myself 🤷‍♀️"
