English translation:For as long as I can remember
Explanation:
I guess it's not illegal to add "myself," since people have written this from time to time, but "for as long as I can remember" is a very common way to say this.

For as long as I can remember


Explanation:
This is definitely a more common way of saying this in English (US). The other two provided options do not sound as accurate to a native speaker.

Example sentence(s):
  • I've enjoyed the smell of the Summer rains for as long as I can remember.
