I don't think it says all that much really, but then again, not being able to remember has been my "normal" state forever as far as I can tell. I do think those prior experience impact and shape my personality, whether I remember them or not; and I simply accept that who I am, is what I choose to do, on this day.
Even if the vague recall that I have still have were to go completely silent, I think this would remain true. I think, I act, therefore, I am me defined by those actions and thoughts.
