“My earliest memory is seeing Michael Jackson in Melbourne with my sister when I was about ten. I still have this souvenir stick with a glove that would light up and make a peace sign in a bunch of different colors. I'm so happy my mom didn't throw that out.” StillsDifferentLightMemoriesSeeingColorMomTenSticksMy MomBunchMy SisterGlovesLight UpSouvenirsDifferent ColorsMelbournePeace Sign Author:Emilie de Ravin
“And last, my mom. I don’t think you know what you did. You had my brother when you were 18 years old. Three years later, I came out. The odds were stacked against us. Single parent with two boys by the time you were 21 years old. Everybody told us we weren’t supposed to be here. We went from apartment to apartment by ourselves. One of the best memories I had was when we moved into our first apartment, no bed, no furniture and we just sat in the living room and just hugged each other. We thought we made it.” ThinkingKnowsYearsFirstsMadeTwoLastsThreeCausesParentMemoriesRoomsBoysBrotherMomBedMovedMy MomMade ItSupposed To BeSatMy BrotherNbaThree YearsOddsApartmentFurnitureEighteenLiving RoomSingle ParentMvpBest MemoriesEighteen Years Old Author:Kevin Durant
“I don't remember the first poem that I wrote because I've been creating poems since I was around 2 or 3. I don't have any memory of that but my mom has written evidence of it.

“We all have rosy memories of a simpler, happy time- a time of homemade apple pie and gingham curtains, a time when Mom understood everything and Dad could fix anything. "Let's get those traditional family values back!" we murmur to each other. Meanwhile, in a simultaneous universe, everyone I know, and every celebrity I don't know, is coming out of the closet to talk about how miserable they are because they grew up in dysfunctional families.” KnowsValuesUniverseMemoriesGrewMomDadGrew UpUnderstoodTraditionalMiserableApplesComing OutPieClosetsCurtainsFamily ValuesDysfunctional FamilyRosyHomemadeSimultaneousApple PieHappy TimesTraditional FamilyComing Out Of The Closet Author:Cynthia Heimel
“Those rosy memories we all share are actually memories from our favorite TV shows. We've confused our own childhoods with episodes of "Ozzie and Harriet," "Father Knows Best," and "The Brady Bunch." In real life, Ozzie had a very visible mistress for years, Bud and Kitten on "Father Knows Best" grew up to become major druggies, and Mom on "The Brady Bunch" dated her fifteen-year-old fictional son.” KnowsYearsRealShowsFatherMemoriesShareChildhoodSonTvsGrewMomMajorsGrew UpReal LifeBunchConfusedVisibleEpisodesFifteenTv ShowsMistressBudKittenFifteen YearsRosyBradyFifteen Years OldDruggiesBrady BunchFavorite Tv ShowsFather Knows Best Book:Get Your Tongue Out of My Mouth, I'm Kissing You Good-bye Source: Get Your Tongue Out of My Mouth, I'm Kissing You Good-bye

“The first scene I ever appeared in, it was the first scene I ever shot [during my] first day on set. I walk up to my mom with a plastic bag over my head and she says that her clothes better not be on the floor, not that a plastic bag is not a safety hazard or anything. I think it's a really cute scene and also just a very vivid memory.” ThinkingFirstsMemoriesWalksMomSceneClothesShotsSafetyMy MomCuteBagsPlasticVividHazardsPlastic BagsReally CuteVivid Memories Author:Kiernan Shipka
“Every time you recall a memory, you're basically making another copy of it and at that same point it is susceptible to new changes and adaptations.
