Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, people can't remember certain experiences because they were not fully present or paying attention when those things happened. It's similar to how someone might not remember their first important moment if they were distracted or not truly involved at that time. For instance, if you're at a concert but you're busy texting on your phone, you might not remember much about the music or the performance. Being physically present is not enough; you need to be mentally and emotionally engaged to form lasting memories. This idea can be applied to everyday life by making an effort to be more attentive and present in the moment, whether it's during conversations with friends or special events. By actively participating and focusing on what’s happening, you create stronger, more vivid memories.
