Meet the woman who cannot forget
Sharrock can recite the entirety of the Harry Potter books, remember every school lesson she had, and recall what she was doing on any given date.
Imagine being able to remember every single day of your life, all the way back to when you were a newborn.
Australian woman Rebecca Sharrock is one of only 60 people in the world with a highly superior autobiographical memory (HSAM), also known as hyperthymesia.

Wish she could share a slice of that power with me. I'm, like, 85% the opposite of that.
Same here, except when it's not important, then I have perfect recall.
Saaaaame. Why are we like this 😅
I feel like growing up I was really good at remembering things. Here I am over 40 and it's starting to be worrisome of the things I have forgotten. It's scary when someone brings up things that happened 20 years ago, and I struggle to remember what happened, or even worse, not remember it at all... the weird part is there are things my brain won't forget at all like when I listen to music I can recall specific songs playing, who I was with, and what we were doing like a decade ago with no problem.
