    Yes, very much so. Everyone here talked at length about this already, but I remembered the book Flowers for Algernon, which, among several other more significant things in the book, talks about this.

    I really recomend you read the book before this spoiler, since it kinda kills the moment.

    the end of the bookAt the very end of the book the main character knows only that they bring flowers to a grave everyday, but don't remember who's burried. And it's one of the few moments media made me cry. because memory issues hit me really hard.

    I'm from Brazil and I'm very happy to have almost fluent english and crappy spanish.

    It's also quite useful. Not only is english spoke everywhere online, but there where cases where my spanish was useful for my job.
