Personally, I suspect my brain actually does have all my memories, but that as my thinking patterns have shifted, my ability to understand my own former thoughts has diminished. It's as if all the old files are in an old format that the new software isn't very compatible with. I also suspect that if I had enough time in life, I could gain enough mental stability to comprehend both my current thoughts and my former thoughts, and thus remember much more.
