I agree that your life or what you remember about it is mostly to do with what you choose to remember. We selectively perceive only what we want. All of us do it. It a bit like horse wearing blinders.

So our memories are influenced by only the things we perceived at the time those memories were stored in our brain.

However, when we reflect on past occurrences we seem to be able to understand and remember more. I guess the memories are stored in our brain but our perception of self (self-perception) allows us to only remember certain memories.

Personally, I dont think you are a pump head. Self-reflection usually causes us to question ourselves.
