Childhood memory

Childhood memory is emotional memory. What lasts is what felt safe and close.

Stories return years later because they carry the feeling of being at home.

Memories are emotions, not plot

Adults remember not the storyline, but how it felt to listen.

That’s why a repeating world and long-term characters matter so much.
