music

Music is an amazing thing. Have you ever smelled something only to have it transport you back to some other time, good or bad, vivid and kind of sad and lonely, one way or the other? Tonight I played some music that I held very close to me and listened to during some of the most difficult times I have yet seen. These times were so hard, in fact, that I inadvertently repressed all but the bare bones of the times and as much of the correlated emotions as I could possibly bury. It's buried to the point that now that I feel safe enough to feel what I need to feel, I cannot. So tonight I downloaded some music and was kinda scared to play it. Turns out I was right to be scared. This music that I so associate with these times brought me back to moments of...
It was like a time machine, I could feel the cold of the rooms, the car, the cold night air. I could smell the scents, I could taste the tastes, all for a few moments, brought on by a song.

Incredible.
