Is it possible to exhaust a core memory to the point that it is no longer as meaningful to you? (lemm.ee)

When thinking about the most important moment(s) of your life, do you still feel the full range of emotion associated with that memory? What if you keep recalling the same memory many times, does the intensity of emotion fade?

Only if they are good. The bad ones you have to keep forever and relive it every time a minor inconvenience happens
