I wanted to add that probably the main reason I write, journal, diary, blog, post thoughts and take photos constantly is that without those types of rehearsals everything would be gone for me. I have written a diary and kept a photo album since I was 9. I don't remember anything that happened before that age except for stories people in my family tell. It made my mom kind of sad. She said "We worked so hard to give you a happy and memorable childhood". I'm sure it's there somewhere though, in my happy personality
