    it’s funny, I don’t classify by date. I couldn’t recall something that happened specifically in 2017 or 2018. But I can recall exactly what happened in a given place. I expect this to be “normal” but I’ve been surprised before by the degree of variability in each one’s mind

      I am/was like that but I feel like I am not able to create those kinds of memories anymore. I can recall what song was on the radio when I went with my parents to some restaurant 20 years ago and what we ordered and how was the weather but for things from around 5 years ago I don’t recall a lot of stuff that precisely

        Me too, older memories tend to be stronger. I would also expect this to be widely experienced, but can’t say with any certainty. For me it depends on the spatial dimension really. Does the vision of a particular place bring up the memories associated with it ?
