Really though.

Recently I've been remembering memories not seemingly worth remembering.  I am reminded through friends of histories I had completely unremembered.  I'm not sure if I willingly forced these thoughts out of my mind in the absence of necessary remembrance or if I tried to avoid the unnecessary memories that had carved out a space in my mind filled with important memories that were immediately necessary.

That's confusing.

In other words, did I forget these memories on purpose or did they just really not matter at all?

An honest answer?  I don't know.

Regardless of being reminded of things I didn't necessarily want to remember I realized that more than half of our life isn't actually stored away in our heads.  We may never remember something we experienced that was critical in someone else's mind.  Literally, what percentage of our life do we actually remember?

AND (even more scary) how much of it have we changed and manipulated in our minds?  Our perception isn't perfect and neither is anyone else's so how much of reality is actually real?

Freaky to think about, huh?

Mind. Blown.
