This is exactly what I experience. Knowing what I am going to say then forgetting before I say it. Or knowing there is a word I am looking for but not being able to remember it. Beyond frustrating.

I am a writer, and the other day I wrote about how I viewed time and I kinda wrote this:

"I don't view time as minutes and years, but as emotions and hues of blue and red."
