All Of The Little Things Our Little Brains Remember For A Short Little While

Isn’t it odd? All of the little things that remain in our little brains? One day, you’ll be walking down the street, just minding your own business, when suddenly you’ll stop. A sight, A sound, A scent, A memory, Something you have never seen, heard, smelt, or even experienced before will catch your incomplete attention so completely. And send you to the most magical of places. Something from your childhood, Something from the small town you drove through last autumn. Something from that department store shelf at that street corner you never thought you’d actually go to. But then you did. Something from a bad day. Something from a good one. All of that energy, all of that time, and still, I can’t put a name to what that feeling is. Nostalgia? No, it goes deeper than that. Much, much deeper. After a bit, you’ll wonder a while, and then you’ll simply move on. Maybe all it is was grief expressed purely. Because living in a world where things are so temporary is a bittersweet thing. Better times, worse times, doesn’t matter. It all sticks around.
