Blue.

Memory is precious, photographs may distort a or even create a memory.
Some times I feel like because I don't remember my childhood that well, that I have lost something integral to my personality
I'm literally astonished when people regale tales of their first day of school and all the things they used to do because I don't have that.
I am empty, I am the opposite to Luria's patient 'S.' in Mind of the Mnemonist. I exist solely in the present, whereas he had a wealth, a bank of information that he could remember, even from shortly after birth, similar to sufferers of Autism who have outstanding childhood memory.

It's incredibly crushing to think that, in a few years I really won't remember right now, when right now is the happiest I've ever been.
