In many ways, our memories shape who we are. They make up our internal biographies—the stories we tell ourselves about what we've done with our lives. Our memories tell us who we're connected to, who we've touched during our lives, and who has touched us. In short, our memories are crucial to the essence of who we are as human beings.
