Anyone have vivid memories they have no reason to remember

Question ❓

I.e. I remember, as a kid, very little. I had familly members, siblings, some life events, maybe not a ton (i was homeschooled) but they were there. Pictures of places I went to that i vagely remember.

But then I have a somewhat clear, or clearer memory that i am not sure why i'd even remember it.

Like some conversation on lgbt legislation and something about the supreme court rulling wether or not a doctor can decide not to treat someone cause they dont aproove of their life style.

And, for some reason I remembered this specific conversation. Why? I ended up being lgbt but like why do i even remember that specific one? I had no reason to care or really understand what it meant and 100% didn't know I was lgbt till years later.

Also I was a kid so id neither know nor care. Also some memory of being told androgeny was sin in church but I wasn't like aware of any of this? My memories seem to be selective to certain events. And then a few i later realized were fake. Probably most of my clear memories are fake.(due to reasons i found out later they couldntve possibly happened. like i couldntve possibly remembered myself sitting in a hospital right after i was born, lack of sense of self as a baby and horrid eyesight even into childhood... also i was sitting straight up without any support... somehow right after birth. once remembered a parent coming home and showing me their tattoo, and i was sitting on the other side of the room watching myself talk to my dad. couldve been a dream i remembered as a memory)

Then i also remember one of my parents spelling out a swear word. ? and its REALLY clear in my memory, like it stuck, and im not sure if at that age i would know what it meant nor did the memory shock me or anything
