Perhaps it would have been easier if I said that not being able to find something is like suddenly not remembering the words to your favorite song that you knew by heart. Itโs like suddenly forgetting the name of someone you know really well and see every day, or the name of a television show you watched for years.

It niggles and niggles at me and I canโt rest until I know the answers.
