Your brain needs to forget in order to grow.

I've know how short my memory span is, but strangely i can't remember 90% of my childhood. Most of the things i remember now probably a make up scenarios or make up scene from what my mother stories.

Like how i was lefties when i start to write. I swap writing using right hand because my dad being superstitious he is he would scold me when he sees me using left hand. "Because it was dirty." I don't blame him though, because i don't remember this myself. Only what i mother told me about. But i kind of wish that i didn't stop from using left hand entirely. Still salty about it. side note i always write with right hand and do other stuff with left hand. at the time i  thought i'm just weird. hahahah.

Also when my class mate told me that my handwriting used to be so neat. i was like. wtf. My handwriting was horrible. It still does. well i don't ever remember that i once had neat handwriting.

I could go on and on about this, but my point is. Now if i try to remember things that happen when i was before i was 6 or 7 i cant. Like how bad i would sleep talk until i woke up because of bad dream. My sister told me this.

I cant remember what it feels like to be a kid. Guess i hated my childhood that bad that my brain just throw those memories away.
But i am amaze at how people could remember what happen when they were two. what?

I recommended you check this link to a post about how it explain scientifically (kindda) why we forget stuff and what is childhood amnesia.
