wasn’t. I took it as a literal term, to be grateful. Whenever someone told me that, all I could see was my body thinned and toned, my face pure and markless, my smile glorious and grand, my life happy and fulfilling. I knew they meant I should be thankful for my life, but I wasn’t. For a very long time, depression ate me alive.

Opinion Paper 2: Memory P.F Skinner was influential in many areas of psychology but some of his most interesting work came from his study on memory and memory loss in adults and children.
