I was thinking how sometimes when you’re looking for something and eventually find it, you then remember leaving there.
So my question is, why do we forget certain stuff. Specially since certain triggers will bring those memories back meaning they never actually left our memory.

We do not have enough space and energy to save everything we experience. Forgetting is a way to get rid of potentially useless information. For the same reason we do not store everything in memory.
