Yeah. Memories are...really, really important to us. Even if we don't always remember the things we've seen or the people we've met, we remember the way those things made us feel.
[...i'm so fucking sorry.]
I have this friend. We met once a while ago, but then I had to go away. When I came back to visit, he forgot all about me. He forgot about all of his friends. So we tried everything to help him remember. It took a while, but eventually he remembered me. Except...I had to go away again, to keep helping other worlds.
He said he was trying to find a way to make it so I wouldn't have to go away again. I promised him I'd come back to visit, but that wasn't enough. He had been trying to find me for a really long time...I kinda felt bad.
But...he reminded me of something, myself. Even when you aren't with the people you care about, and even if you don't remember everything perfectly, it's always in your heart. As long as you keep those feelings there, the memories are never really gone. So I made him a promise I'd always be right there. I think it worked, too. [he grins.] Silly old bear...
...memories are important because they're ours. But as long as you hang on to your heart, you can hang on to who you are. [so. yeah. that's the tl;dr way of saying that yes, that's what he thinks.]
