A couple of years ago, one Redditor was curious to know what cool things people experienced in their childhood but didn’t appreciate until they became adults. They went on r/AskReddit and posed this question to the community. People shared all sorts of wholesome and sweet things and even some impressive stories.

But it’s nothing to be scared of, it happens to most of us. It’s just how our brains process memories over time. Young adults tend to remember their childhood as their ‘golden age.’ For older adults, it’s their young adult years that seem to be the best.

But it’s not simply about the things and events that we remember. The more important factor is how we felt during them. That’s what we register the best, and that’s what triggers us to remember these events in a positive light. Also, because younger people tend to be more optimistic about the world and the future, our memories are made even better by the dopamine we had when we lived them.
