Why Your Brain Erases Memories

Your brain is deleting memories right now. Every single day, your brain purposefully erases information.

If it didn't, you'd be overwhelmed by every single detail you've ever experienced.

Your brain acts like a filter, deciding what's worth keeping and what needs to go.

Useless details get wiped clean to make room for what actually matters. But here's the twist:

memories tied to strong emotions get locked in permanently. That's why you remember your first heartbreak

but not what you had for lunch last Tuesday. So the next time you forget something,

your brain isn't failing you. It's protecting you from information overload.

What memory do you wish your brain had deleted?
