I don’t know if it’s true... but maybe Tolkien did visit the forests of Hogsback as a very young child. And maybe, just maybe, Mirkwood did grow out of those long forgotten forests, “like a seed in the dark out of the leaf-mould of mind...”
"All that is gold does not glitter..."
"Not all those that wander are lost."
"There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after."
"The greatest adventure is what lies ahead.
Today and tomorrow are yet to be said.
The chances, the changes are all yours to make.
The mould of your life is in your hands to break."
J.R.R. Tolkien, from "The Hobbit"
