Having a Good Memory: Blessing or Curse?
I have come to realize that I have a very good memory. It is not quite photographic, but probably very close to it. I am able to remember certain events very distinctly; from my feelings, to the looks on others’ faces, to the reactions from an event. Over the years this has been both a…
