Are you remembering experiences from your childhood?
More and more frequently, I am intensely but vaguely remembering memories from my childhood. I'm talking like 7 or 8 or 9 years old. Surprisingly (to me at least) it seems like this happens most often when I randomly happen to smell certain scents.
The memories are usually painless, harmless ones. I was in the library today, and a smell reminded me of my elementary school cafeteria (weird, huh?). Actually, I often find it hard to place precisely what the memory is. I just have a certain sensation that feels familiar from years and years ago.
Every now and then, memories will surface that make me angry or upset, but I'm well aware that this is part of the healing process. Hell, I was drinking to begin with to not feel those thoughts. Naturally, I didn't have these sorts of experiences AT ALL when I was drinking.
Can ya dig?
