We don't remember everything that happens to us — so why do we remember what we remember?

And the memories we do lock away aren't always accurate or trustworthy.

This week, we're talking about the fallibility of memory and why sometimes it's healthy to forget.

We'll also get into how to remember special moments more clearly, and here's a hint — you might want to put down your camera sometimes.
