1 Answer

Answer :

i think we start early on becuase i know people that remember certain bits of info from as early as 3 or 4. i can honestly remember things around that age as well. not complete memories but smells and sights cause memories to pop up. i think the brain pushes these memories deep in our minds becuase they arnt necessary. my theory is that a hypnotist could bring them out again. idk…just guessin here.
