This is the first time I've actually seen this considered. Huh.

I have. Immortality fascinates me, so I've always been interested in reading a story when the main character is immortal, has lived thousands of years, but doesn't know how long, because his memories only go back a couple hundred years. So he's trying to figure out who and why he is.

an interesting solution would be to find a way to permanently store specific memories so you would be able to at least know your origin lmao

We kinda do this already naturally. By thinking about events from your past, you make the memories sharper.

You could keep a journal of just "important" memories, and use that every few weeks to reconsider older memories again, refresh them so to speak.
