Earliest memory
Sep. 29th, 2006 06:35 pmWhat is your earliest memory?
When I think back to my very earliest memories, most of them are traumatic in some way. This is not because I had a particularly traumatic childhood--I just think that scary or shocking events stick in the brain longer and more sharply for some reason. I have good memories too! Think back to some of your earliest memories. Are they mostly "good" memories, or mostly memories of scary or upsetting events? Tell me the story of your first memory. How old were you?
