Memory isn’t just a thing that occurs in your brain. You can’t just will a memory into existence, you have to form it.

Scientists, specifically neuroscientists, have known for years that the state of life that a certain person is in, young, old, stressed, calm, etc., can interfere with the process of memory encoding in the mind.
