Colloquial Negation & Reflexive Verbs

In spoken French, the formal negative structure ne ... pas is often shortened to just pas, dropping the ne. This is very common in memes and casual conversation. The verb se souvenir is a reflexive verb (it requires the pronoun me). It uses the auxiliary avoir in compound tenses (like the passé composé), but takes être when used with depuis or to indicate a state.
