What do you do to relive past memories?

As a genius I am, I listen to a specific song in a specific era or time. Like I listened to this 30 mins song edits audio in this 7 days school trip to North Indian hills and whenever I listen to that audio every feeling rushes back, the smell of hilly air, gossiping with my friend in the cold tent with hailstorm banging on the roof and everything. I started doing this from the age of 12 and whenever I listen to specific song, I go back in time and live that again. I make sure not to listen to those songs frequently so I maintain their special effects.

Yes music does it. As does old video games I hadn’t touched for ages. Another one that always gets my memories working are old smells or scents i hadn’t smelled since the time i first did.

[Apulu_backagain]

Oh yeahh the scents too, I think old scents makes you feel weirdly sad and nostalgic deeply.

Music is such a powerful time machine 😍 I do the same with songs from certain trips or relationships and “save” them so they don’t lose their magic.

I also rewatch movies or dramas I saw at specific times, revisit old sketchbooks and ticket stubs, and scroll through old festival photos. Certain perfumes or incense help too. One whiff and I’m suddenly back at Cannes or Burning Man again ✨

I spend time on GaG.

Oohh yeah, I like reading mytakes or questions of my old accounts or old posts of my friends on here!

@apulu_backagain Sometimes there are questions on GaG that make me remember stuff that happened to me.

[Apulu_backagain]

Because I am fat and sleep deprived, fat people generally look older.

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah , you are very fat , and looks much elder than 17 ,,
Don't you care about your fitness and look?

[Apulu_backagain]

That's the picture of when I was newly 16...
I know I look ugly and that no one wants me or will ever want me. You don't have to remind me that, I am very self aware.
