Only the good (memories) die young...

Well, it looks like science can explain why people tend to remember the really stressful events in their lives while forgetting the fun filled times. Apparently, when we are stressed, we release a cascade of chemicals that increase our capacity to vividly remember the event causing that stress.

So...

Can't forget about your creepy ex? Or that horrid break-up when your lady love announced she was pregnant with the neighbor's kid? Or the spring day when your knight in shining armor dressed up in stiletto heels, a leather collar, and tiny black dress to tell the world that you made him decide to switch his sexual orientation?

It's not your fault...blame the stress response!
