Nostalgia.
April 16th, 2004 | by john |I love telling stories of what I am thinking and feeling on my blog. It provides a good history of my emotions without me trying to be too sentimental to a single piece of memory or anything. It also links to older memories – especially like this particular narrative that made me nostalgic twice within the past couple of weeks.
Two weeks ago or so, I was walking to class. Then I saw someone that looked exactly like a friend I knew back at home… way back in the high school days. Same build, height, hair color, facial shape, eyes, nose, mouth, smile, posture… This person was so exactly like the one I knew back home that I had to shake my head and take a second look.
I knew this was a different person mainly because I know they aren’t at Tech. It’s a bit amazing how some people just look alike. It gave me a moment where I had to look around to see where I was because there were so many memories that came back to me all at the same time. One mental image from my past creating a domino effect of hundreds of other mental images.
All the good, scary, embarassing, exciting, and old memories…
