Earliest Memory Lab


I was probably around 2. It was when I lived in China, and I remember seeing my aunt or somebody put lipstick on and wanting to try it myself. In my mind I had put it on perfecltly well but actually it was all over my face. I knew I was doing something I shouldn't (that is not to say that I was doing a bad deed, but I didn't ask for permission) and so I tried to do it sneakily and when I was caught I ran away. I remember a lot of colors and also running away because everything was blurry. There are tons of discrepancies between my memory and what actually happened, and it may be that I reconstructed the memory after seeing pictures. The same thing happened when I was watching early videos of myself, I got the vague sense that I may or may not have actually remembered the occasion happening even though I probably don't. As for whether or not my personality is the same, I suppose in some ways it is. I think I can be fairly mischevious and susceptible to guilty feelings. Whether or not it "feels" like me -- this doesn't pertain to this specific memory but when I was watching recordings of myself it definitely felt like I was looking at a different person altogether.
