Why is it that I can remember the name of every kid in my class from ages 7 to 14.....
But I can't remember the name of one person I met yesterday??

Also... I can tell you the words of every song that was ever in the charts from the 60's...
But.. now... I start speaking a sentence... and forget the point of what I was saying??

Getting old is scarey..... try and avoid it if you can!!!!

Throughout your life, your brain has been storing data. From the day you were born (And probably before that), you have been taking in sights, sounds, smells, tastes, etc. It has been shown with regression therapy that people can remember almost everything they have ever seen in their past, just not conciously.

Take a look at a tree sometime. Do you see the thousands of leaves? Maybe you don't register the fact that you see all of them, but you do. Look at a line of tree's. Your brain takes in and disects the information it has been given, and it does see all of those leaves. And, it remembers them, too.

While you may not be able to remember what you had for breakfast yesterday, or last week, your brain remembers and has all of this information stored.
I can remember what i eaten and what it smelt like last week .
