I forget things all the time, but I don't like it. I suppose what I imagine I want is perfect recall of everything I've seen, heard, experienced. I get great joy from looking at old photos or videos, and I hate that there are millions of experiences over my lifetime that I can't recall and that there is no record of.

So, yes, I do want to remember everything all the time.

At the same time, I recognize that there are mental health benefits to forgetting things, so I will settle for being able to easily flip through all of my text messages with friends and loved ones.
