I can't even name all the stuff I ate yesterday. I forget why I entered a room. But somehow I know the exact dates of events that happened 10 years ago and I remember every birthday of every family member and friend I ever had. Our brains are pretty smart and there's a good reason why short term memory and long term memory are separated. Only so much storage room before it's too much
