Just thought I would share this:

Formative Memories.

A formative memory is a pivotal experience or early influence that significantly shapes your character, values, and sense of self. These foundational experiences—whether a challenging life event, a profound achievement, or a moment of deep connection—wire your brain and define how you navigate the world.

This is why they always seem to come down with amnesia when we call them out on some bullshit. They don't remember some of our most traumatic moments bc it was an average effing Tuesday for them.

The shit they do is so normal to them but to us it's betrayal, hurt, and disgust so profound- it changes the way we think and feel forever.
