On nostalgia and things that strike a chord

Been so bored recently...

Just thinking about things, past things and how they make me feel. Like how songs, a scent, associated with old emotions, and suddenly you're reminded of them and whatever that feeling is, it resonates inside you and you are just dumbfounded.

Almost an out-of-body experience (not that I know what that feels like), and bam you're back to the place, you're seeing faces, hearing voices, smelling scents that seem to come from necks, or the indents in shoulders.

And it doesn't necessarily have to be a deep emotion, sometimes it's only like 'oh yeah that song makes me think of that time I was driving down that particular stretch of road' and it's a shallow feeling, you acknowledge it and move on.

Strange stuff, huh? What I find is, is that it doesn't matter how long it's been, a simple reminder and everything you felt at that point comes flooding back.

Not very nice, sometimes.
