How come we make memories so fast?

I suppose to keep us from making mistakes over and over again. Every relationship I have had has been a learning experience, and so even if I don’t remain friends with that person, I definitely take something away from the experience, and I hold it with me forever. If someone is important to you in a time and in a space, that importance just doesn’t go away. Why should it? It is important to your evolution as a person in some way. That person affected your life. Memory is probably one of the most beautiful gifts of life, the hard part is coming to terms with them.

Because you are with people that you love and that make you happy easily and the moments you have with them you charish them forever.

Memory works like this:

You sense something happening with one of, or a combination of, your five senses. The information is transmitted to your brain, starting at a sensory register, and traveling to your short-term memory (aka working memory). It remains there long enough to be able to be addressed by the mind. It will be destroyed if you don’t expend the extra effort to encode it into your long-term memory, which includes episodic memory (which are memories of your personal experiences and evens that are linked to particular surroundings), semantic memory (which is the bulk of the information that you use on a daily basis, including grammar and vocabulary and such), declarative memory (which includes memories of conversations, events, etc), and procedural memory (which is how we remember how to tie our shoes and drive our cars and wash our faces and anything else that requires a set of steps). You remember those kinds of things that you described because you mentally expend the energy and effort to retain those things in your long-term memory; if you didn’t care about those people and events, it wouldn’t matter if you kept those memories or not. You also revisit them time and time again, which, according to some theorist, keeps them in your memory, whereas those that you do not think about or revisit slowly decompose.

Mmmm, yes, but what I mean is how some people those memories come so much faster than with other people. More memorable so to say. Do you have someone that is more memorable than than everyone else you know?
