×------<-- It's all part of the journey! -->------× What is it like to forget? >-Why, do you want to know? . . . >-It's like a hazy dream. A world of wonders that stretches out as far as you can see.

You can feel that there was something you once knew. Or something you know? Something you should remember, right? But you can't. It's there, yet so far away. You want to reach out, wrap your fingers around, but your hand passes through. Was there ever something, you might wonder. Yes, there was. There is. Even though you can't see it, feel it, can't reach out to touch it, you know it's there. It was never gone. And eventually, you will remember.
