💜🤩🌫️
have you ever been absolutely sure you remembered something correctly—only to find out you were wrong?
(excuse me?? мозок, ми так не домовлялись 😭)
our memories aren't perfect recordings of the past 📼. every time we remember something, our brain reconstructs the experience. sometimes, it fills in the blanks without us even noticing🤔.
in one study, researchers found that people could misremember objects they had never actually seen in an animation. and the weirdest part? 😳 a memory can feel completely real even when some details are wrong.
your brain can play tricks on you, making you swear something happened exactly the way you remember it.
коротше, довіряй але перевіряй 🧠

I thought he was ignoring me, only to find out he hadn't seen my message.
