A walk down memory lane
Have you ever heard a song and were immediately transported back in time to a moment in your past and it feels like you are right there again? I have recently had several moments like this and to be honest I really love when this happens. I haven't quite figured out why certain songs have that affect on me while others garner not even the slightest reaction. Who knows. All I do know is that whenever I hear a select handful of songs, it totally takes me back and I find myself reliving moments of my youth, and wow do I love that feeling. Back then I had such a fiery spirit, this wonderful spunk, but at the same time was lacking in self confidence and very naive about so many things. As we all have to evolve and grow, I am no longer that girl, but for snipets of time, when certain songs come on, I feel totally connected to my former self and it feels great. I can feel her joy and her pain (depending on the song) and I can see how far I've come.
I went to a surprise b-day party for one of my oldest friends from high school tonite and I had this dejavu reaction going to her mom's house for the party. We used to hang out there all the time, and when I walked thru the front door I felt like I had passed thru a portal that took me back to when I was 16. It was like looking thru a photo album, except the pictures were in my mind, clear as day. I felt like I was transported back in time, a couple gals from high school all grown up, but back where it started. It's interesting to see my 16 year old self thru my now 30 year old eyes. I'm more impressed with my younger self now than I was then, I just wish she knew how awesome she was. It's nice to come full circle and still be surrounded by people who are as important to you now as they were then.
Here's to everyone taking a mental journey back....
