Is it normal to make up memories?

recently i've been thinking up memories in my brain that aren't actually there. like i remember that one of my friends did or said something crazy but in reality it was just a normal, boring day. is my imagination just too wild or something?

    I remember some sort of article claiming that many childhood memories are simply made up by our mind. Makes me think about what was reality and what what isn't

    When i was younger I used to think I had a memory I visited the arch in st. Louis. Then when i really did visit the arch in st Louis, I realized that was ky first time there. Haha our brains can pick up on things and latch onto them. Very tricky

    • i remember something else too, one time i was a Mcdonald's or Buger King with my cousins and we were all playing on the playset. a few moments later we all had to get out but i can't exactly remember what happened after that. i asked my mother about it a few times, but she doesn't have any recollection. to this day i have no idea if it was real or not. :)
