When I was a teenager, I used to recall my earlier childhood memories being rose tinted and almost dreamlike, now that I’m in my early 20s, my memories of my early to middle teenage years are also becoming dreamy and rose tinted in a way. Does anyone experience this? Is it possible that I will I remember my early adult years in the same way?

    I don’t know about dreamlike, I would say more so disconnected. Like, I’ll remember that a thing happened, it’s a thing I know of, but I don’t necessarily remember the event itself or with as much detail as I think I might’ve before.

    It’s also weird for me to think about these things happening to me that was a different shape and form of me because I hadn’t grown into the me I am now. It’s not quite that I don’t identify with my younger self as my self, but it just feels strange because when I think back to things from my youth I don’t remember being different but I know that I was because it happened before I was an adult.
