Every moment is a new memory born

I'm not sure that's true. The brain has to write things into memory and simply isn't capable of retaining every little detail from every moment in a day.

I wonder how many memories you mind can store before it has to start overwriting old ones...

I think the brain is expected to hold something like 2+ petabytes. But you brain is overwriting old memories for new ones long before a physical limit of capacity if reached.

Yes, but it is a selective overwrite not a total one. I am pushing 60 and I still have some memories from when I was about 5 yrs. old, and upward from there.Most are kind of sketchy and not complete, but definitely real memories from experiences I had as a child. Some are good some are not so good.
