Focusing on the short-term and long-term memory, we all know it is easy to share a great meal with friends or have a fun day at the beach and these memories will be etched in your memory for a long time to come, but as new memories come into your life it is only natural that some of the most special memories get pushed to the back of your mind, oftentimes completely forgotten.
