Isn't it weird/strange/stupid how stress can concrete/implant a memory/moment/thing in your head so completely/thoroughly?

You'll always remember every car accident you've been in. ...Unless you were drunk...

You'll always remember every embarrassing moment from elementary school, from middle school, from high school, from your first job.

You have no choice in this matter. You will always remember because at the moment of the incident, special chemicals were released by your body which somehow burned that memory forever into the front of your mind.

You'll be driving down the road and you'll remember that first accident, or that first time in school when you did something so that whole class was laughing at you.

And there's nothing you can do to not feel that embarrassment, or that fear, all over again.

Like now.

And forevermore.

I'll feel this.
