The other day, I read about a handful of people who've been identified as having "super" memories. They can recall minute details from nearly every day since their ages were in the single digits.
Although I'm glad I'm not one of those gifted people, I think it would be neat to be able to use that talent selectively. Who wouldn't want to remember more details of the good memories and fewer of the bad? Maybe the great memories can be reinforced by frequent recollection of them. That's where writing comes in. Writing allows us to express our thoughts and the emotions we had at the time. It also allows us to revisit those moments later, after some of the details have become overshadowed by others.
