i am on team "no" myself, i don't remember childhood having special vividness or intensity :/ hard to know how much of this is that my memories generally lack sensory / experiential detail. wonder if there's something i forgot i could remember here 🧐

The roses under my window make no reference to former roses or better ones; they are what they are; they exist with God today. There is no time to them. There is simply the rose; it is perfect in every moment of its existence. ― Emerson
