PERCEPTON DECAY

As we grow older, our recollection of the past can differ from what we have remembered it to be like, almost unrecognisable from the actual events that took place. Through the passing of time, our life memories decay slowly as our brain fills up with new memories from the experiences that we are now facing and tries to decipher the new memories into organised categories. Whether the new memories are pleasant ones or traumatic ones, our brain does its best to make sense of our mindset that is in disarray, but this is no easy task. The facts of the matter can be construed on what we believe did happen from what actually happened because  sometimes our perspective is tainted by unresolved issues that have led us to take a biased point of view which creates a false narrative. Fresh memories that are based on all the facts considered are more likely to be reliable where time hasn't managed to sprinkle a little fairy dust on it. As kids, we tend to react more before we investigate, whereas adults tend to pay a bit more focus on the attention to detail. So where nostalgia can make you feel that you miss the good old days, it probably felt different when you were growing up as that child. It is probably better to focus on the now rather than reminiscing in your past life tales and much better for your mental state. So think forward and leave the past in the distance.
