My whole life I’ve said I have a bad memory. But in the last couple of years I’ve come to the realisation that my memory is no worse than anyone else’s, I just have bad recall.

Like you said with, starting of a story, the trick is getting the right trigger.

Although I’ve also found that there are something’s I have no memory of at all which is alarming and still makes me worry about dementia… Hopefully I don’t remember I don’t have those memories.
