Associations

Do you ever get those times when you are driving passed or through places which evoke memories, thoughts and emotions – both good and bad – that cause you to feel that sort of sick to the stomach or I cant really breathe my chest is too tight sort of feeling??

I had one of those experiences today.
Not great.
Memory and the associations we make are funny things!

Jman - I'm glad i'm not the only one.

JT - not entirely sure why that was cool :P and i did leave the post ambiguous on purpose, however, since you asked, it was about 10 different places in sutherland...

hehe that would be funny if it was the same person!

Interesting post... This song, for me sometimes sums up some of those thoughts... good and bad...

It was cool cos there were juicy bits you didn;t talk about which i got to ask about! That leaves a whole load of extra cool to come when you decide to reveal all, and then regret you did, and then create another bad association from this moment.

But don't think about that, just reveal all..

Chris - thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment! nice to see you! :)

Jt - haha thats slightly evil but funny hehe :P
so there was this place that reminded me of this time with this person that was good but now somewhat sad to look back on too - multiply that by like 5 and u get that day...mmm detailed hehe
ok so maybe the revealling all will happen in due course, like when i see u next rather than in a way the whole world could read hehe... ;)
i think there should be a condition though that u gotta share a time when this happened to u too hehe :P

I have less place associations and more sound associations. Certain songs that take me to places.
The more I think about it though, the more I realise that I must be able to "block out the bad and harness the good" (Adam Sandler quote) because I don't remember any of the bad ones.
Handy skill to have!

P.S. The word verification for this comment is the letter z, then a rude word! I might have a bad association attatched to this now!

Goldy, that is a very handy skill indeed!!
I definately have song associations too! In fact i was going to write about one in this post too...but decided against making it too long...maybe next time..

hmm thats a bit of a worry about the word association haha - i hope you may press past that association to return here again hehe

not so much place association, definite yes with the song association. Goo goo dolls - Iris - love it to pieces but makes me cry!
