Idea 9/22 - Relationships

I am finding that the root of what most of my memories are coming from really stem from my relationships with other people. In fact, even with the added aspect of memory distortion/ false memory and surreal aspects, I still find myself reliving the relationships I had/have with the people involved in said "memory". I've started thinking "why is this an important event?", "why is this person important?", and most of all "why do we remember these things years later?". As human beings it is only natural for us to want to build relationships with the people around us, and when we remember an event we often think of the people we were with when it happened. Wether it is traumatic, exciting, etc. for whatever reason we feel closer to the people we experienced something important with.
