Chelek Lamed Daled pg 24. The Torah warns us not to forget what we've learned, yet if someone forgets because circumstances genuinely prevented them from reviewing, it isn't considered "forgetting" at all. Why? Because they never let go of the Torah - the Torah remained their priority. Sometimes, what looks like stepping away is actually the deepest expression of connection. Reb Zeira intentionally forgot the Talmud Bavli he had learned so he could fully absorb the Talmud Yerushalmy. Moshe broke the Luchos to preserve the Torah forever. In both cases, a temporary "loss" became the foundation for something far greater. What does Hashem want from me? Am i aligning myself with Torah as my life force? Use that as the guiding force. Am I stepping away ("forgetting") because I'm disconnecting, or because, for this moment, this is what Hashem wants from me? Sometimes moving away from something might be the strongest expression of connection.
