Throughout my life, I have been told stories of myself as a young child that I do not remember. These stories have been repeated so often that my imagination has created a ‘false memory’ of the events, tricking my mind into believing I remember. This false memory is ever-changing, confusing, and unclear. The details do not make sense together, but the memory feels true. This piece is an examination of a false memory I have, and what I see when I ‘remember’ this event.
