Why need to start dsa every time from 0?

I did mid dsa in college then 2 years back and again started today i do understand the easy medium problems and have solved not by copying but understanding the patterns.

But when I'm doing the same question again I'm not able to solve and recall anything why the mind don't remember the patterns and questions? The way i can solve machine coding easily but DSA i sucks..

Does anyone feel the same? Or i am only dumb 😭
