Memories are interpretations 

"Our brains never see the past clearly. They are like painters who are never satisfied. They constantly retouch the past with the colors of the present, putting a fresh version of ourselves on display for us to ponder."

ty for sharing. The last paragraph is golden:
“I was really impacted by Daniel Kahneman’s observation that we have an ‘experiencing self’ and a ‘remembering self... I want to make choices to get the best memories I can.”

“what are the memories i’m going to carry with me from this point on? i want to make choices to get the best memories I can.”

Hmm  that's why i have some memories that im not really sure if really happen.
