what to do when an event becomes a memory?

ive lately made bookmarks in my mind consciously of events
i like as they are happening and why i like them.
later when i pull out the memory, the content of why i liked
the event is gone, and has been replaced with a kind of
illusory nostalgia thats not very specific.

is there any way i can go back in time to relive that event
in 3d?

also, this feels kind of melancholic to go through old times
with my parents..

i saw this in star trek 4 you need to fly around the sun at
faster than the speed of light or summat. tbqh they dont
explain it very well and it looks dangerous

You have to fly around the sun faster than the speed of
light, you'll know when you've gone back in time when the
CGI effects look dated.

memories are mostly feelings and they change with you over
time. this has a function, just like it has a function that
you can't remember pain (for obvious reasons). the function
might be that memories are more applicable that way, because
they are molded into that higher applicability by the
feelings of the newer you.

if you try to store memories like 3d pictures, like if you
were a computer, you are left with useless bits. because
memories aren't designed to be 3d pictures

proper answer.

essentially all your suggestions worked.
i can feel time and space not like an external constant, but
as an internal lump, ready to be molded.
the eternal gardens of our memories are now under my direct
observational jurisdiction. i see all

This is only partially related, but certain things I
associate together if I was doing them at the same time.
For instance, certain albums I listened to a lot while
playing a certain game or reading a certain book. It is
more than just being reminded of it when I listen to that
music, tho. It is a sensation almost like deja vu or
something, like part of you feels like you did then, or like
you are partially there again. Sounds obvious when typed
out but it seems more profound when experienced..

Yep i know what you mean..
The problem is that it disappears after say, 10 years or
less..
Some old songs and events i had no longer are as relevant to
me.
just feels kind of sad.

that's so sci-fi. Imagine grand images of space and nebulas
and star clusters and a really deep voice saying that. The
eternal gardens... It's like the intro of an old 70s sci-fi
series.
