I’m talking about those things that you normally know but may forget momentarily. It’s like your brain draws a blank or can’t access the info. What causes that when it happens?

Imagine living in a forest for your entire life, wandering around and making paths. Some paths, like to the nearest water source, you will take over and over again and they will become permanent. Paths that you only take a few times a year won’t be as easy to take again and will get overgrown with time. Some paths may overlap each other making navigation confusing. When you blank on a name it means your brain couldn’t find the right path at that moment.
