Wednesday night, I couldn't sleep so I threw in my Good Evening New York DVD to listen/watch. It gave me the strongest craving for a Plaid Hoodie (of which I cannot link due to the discontinuation)and a WISH Starbucks cup.
I also get the memories and good feelings of November 4th, 2009 every time I listen to Maybe I'm Amazed. Is there something wrong with me? Am I the only one that this happens to?
Do any of you people out there get this? It's as if things from said timeframe trigger the feelings.
Short Term Nostalgia is what I call it. It could be because the Fall/Winter season of '09 was pretty much the best time period of my life so far. Cause it was. I don't know why it happens, and I'm not sure I hate it, I'm just wondering if it's just me. It seems like mostly music triggers it, but just last week I drank a Starbucks Mocha for the first time in forever and took me straight back to the night mentioned earlier with the WISH starbucks cups.
Life went way uphill in the latter half of last year. It was just a good time.
The best of times, really.
If you've been with me since the start, you should know that Christmas is my favorite time of year. That's expanded to Fall/Winter, but still that area of time.
As soon as the High temp. of the day is 68, I'm in heaven. That means 38 degree morning walks, waking up to my Maybe I'm Amazed ringtone, and all that stuff.
Hey, that might be why that's a trigger. It's been my alarm tone since September '09, and has all those 6:45 sharp blog posts. Boy I loved those days. 6:30 Coffee's on. 6:45 Coffee's on desk with Blogger open. 7:32 Walk begins, 35-39 degrees.
Heaven. It triggers Owl shaped two-tone cookies, Cranapple cider, and orange leaves.
It triggers Cicero looking at me, and looking forward to my photo class with John Greengo.
That class has tons of great memories for me. Que November 4th.
Fall is a good, inspiring time for me, when I blog best.
Quite possibly cause that's when I started.
All I know is that come October, this Bi-Monthly blog thing will end. More good photo stuff (in my eye) and just a good mindset. Enough rambling, I must go.
Do you ever have short term nostalgia cases? Feel free to leave a response.
Short term nostalgia is definitely a *thing* it's not just you! Example: Apple Spice from Starbucks = Falls early on in art school walking around campus in my pea coat carrying a sketchbook proudly for the 1st time. I'd always carried one, but I never knew it was ok and I never had an excuse til college :)
