JUST WHEN YOU WANT TO FORGET.....YOU REMEMBER IT ALL


 We take a lot of things for granted when we ought to be grateful. When some bad stuff happen ,instead of us to forget it and move on,we condition ourselves to  remember it. Sometimes we brag about it  "I can remember what you did to me in 1900". Forgetting can ease the pain and start the steps in healing especially when it comes naturally to us.So what happens when one cant forget not because you don't want to but because you have a medical condition that makes you not to.

Hyperthymesia is a medical condition also known as Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory. Actress Marilu Henner is among the few people with this medical condition.
She has the ability to recall any memory from her life from holidays to random insignificant event. She said  "Whenever I go back into memory, I'm always in my body looking out."

Jill price, a 42 year old school administrator is said to also have Hyperthymesia,she has a perfect recall of nearly every day of her life. Some researchers have entertained many theories about it. An MRI scan conducted on jill price's brain showed "two abnormally large areas". Could that be the cause of her ability to remember?

Seriously, we have to be grateful for some things we cant remember.
