The Most Vivid Memories are Wrong

               Everyone has a couple memories that are ingrained in their minds. A tragic event, a proposal, or a happy time with family. We like to think these memories will never be changed or forgotten, but it turns out they are just as susceptible to the Forgetting Curve. These hugely important memories are usually of something either incredibly good or bad events (like 9/11). Memories like these are called Flashbulb Memories. However, overtime, these memories that seem so vivid in our minds could be partly, if not totally, inaccurate.
