Your case is somewhat particular (and is a very good thing to do). Because you have a log of past events, your memory processes can match against a reference and filter out deviations.
Most people don't have such an external log/reference. Memories cannot be externally validated, only internally validated against other memories. So, small deviations can accumulate, and overtime create entirely false narratives (esp around uncomfortable or even traumatic events)
You make me want to start a diary :-)
