Anon text;
How many people do you remember? Do you remember all the people who shaped you? Are you living for anyone, at this moment?
Memories are precious things in this place. We can lose them easily, and they can be returned on a whim. We have no control over it. You can record them, leave them behind here, but even if you hear or read them again, they may not have any meaning to you. Maybe you won’t feel anything at all when reading them, or having someone relay them to you. In that case, aren’t you reading someone else’s memories rather than your own?
Would you be happier to forget them? Or would you want to be able to remember them, no matter what?
As for me, I want to carry these memories with me, for better or worse, for as long as possible. It’s how I’ve always lived anyway. People that have died, people that have left. People that saved me, people that hurt me. For me, it’s a way of living. I know that eventually, I’ll leave this place, and I’ll forget some of them, but I don’t mind bearing their weight for now.
(Sorry. Another rambling, self-indulgent 'in memoriam' post. I hear these are passé, now.)

It's all we have.

[He types a response, frustrated and heartsick, then discards it for being too personal.]
[Maybe they can discuss it in-person, sometime.]
I guess you're right.

In any case, perhaps you'll find yourself coming out of the shadows of "unnamed" to talk with the rest of us more in your own time. It might be easier to do so with a better understanding of who you are.
Not everything fits everyone the same after all...
