The way memory works, your brain constructs the memory based on stuff from the last time you thought about it, mixed with other random shit.
You're never remembering "the" event. You're retelling yourself a story like a game of telephone. The past is gone.

I don’t feel like this is entirely true. I have some memories that play out more like shorts, that have always been very clear and never change in detail. They’re just engraved there, some of them can be easily corroborated among multiple people and/or video footage
