To remember events, places, people that you have encountered, and their habits and trials. Memories make up so much of our identity that we hardly acknowledge that they do – until they are disrupted.
What would cause someone to forget their lover, one of the most important individuals in their life? Pip appears burdened with this question at present. I am told that her former lifemate has returned to Orgrimmar and claims no knowledge of Pip or their time together. She knows her own name, but shows no interest in re-learning anything at all related to Pip.
I speculate that the behavior may be false, and that she does remember, but chooses to distance herself. However if she truly cannot remember, it is still distressing to those who do.
Yet I envy it. Regardless of how or whether her memories were lost, they are still accessible through others. I possess a great capacity to remember, but have no reference beyond a specific point. One month from today, I will have been raised for three years. I have no memory of anything prior.
And the only man who could have had the answers to why, and what happened, has just died.
