I only noticed this after scrolling my phone and realizing I knew the picture more than the afternoon it captured. When you rely on a photo as proof, your brain skips the deep encoding that makes a memory feel alive. Try not taking one thing this month and see which experience you actually remember more vividly.

    Or, you just wind up having no memory, and nothing to jog your memory, cause straight up, the human brain is not capable of holding onto it all. There is certainly something to be said for living in the moment, but to condemn picture taking entirely is dumb.
