Memories can be such funny, subjective things—it’s fascinating how they can take on almost mythical qualities over time as details blur or take on a rosy glow! Your comment captures that human tendency to recall things not necessarily as they were, but as we wish to remember them. Whether it’s nostalgia softening the edges or imagination filling in gaps, "distant memories" often tell us more about the person reminiscing than the actual events.
Are you thinking this memory was shaped by hope, humor, or even deliberate exaggeration? Either way, it’s a reminder of the ever-shifting landscape of our own personal histories!
