I was wondering what other people's experiences are like.
Is there any place in the world that you remember so well, but didn't do anything in particular?
For me, it was when I was on a trip with a girl friend, and we had to sleep outside the train station in Milan(o). That's all we did, just slept.. it was completely meaningless but it's just something I can never forget.
Does anybody else have something like this?
I have a pretty lousy memory to be honest, but it seems that everything comes back in my dreams, so it doesn't really matter.
Staying at a friend's apartment for a month. I didn't have a job, didn't have any money, and spent most of the time lounging around in the guest bedroom reading his Dragonlance novels while he was in class.
I can still smell Fayetteville.
Laying in bed with (what is now) my ex. She was my first girlfriend, and I was about her thirtieth boyfriend. We weren't doing anything except cuddling, and she was asleep at the time. It was in my room on my bed, except the arrangement of furniture is different so it seemed like a particular place. Reminiscing about the fact that it was a totality of desire and longing to be doing exactly what I was doing at the time, in perfect serenity, makes me want to cry. It wasn't her specifically - I still talk to her and we might date again - it was the season and the situation in general. I felt for the first time in anything the newness of gentle contentment, which was when I was 17. It wasn't 'young love', fiery passion, lust, or sensible romance. It was the fact that for once and perhaps the only time in my life, I could hold someone and feel as if our thoughts were mutually exclusive.
Then she woke up, looked at me with her rehearsed childlike innocence, and shattered the dream.
Laying down with my infant head on a parent's lap during a long night time drive through the countryside, watching the stars sparkle and the clouds crawl around the moon.
nap at the piazza san marco
ps. I don't think the memory has to necessarily be about sleeping as such lol.
She was a fairly large fan of anime, and I believe also made a point of immitating the portrayals in age difference from child to adult because of it. But that's really no different from any other extraverted anime fan, is it?
I can't remember anything. Damn.
Camping trips with my friend. We used to sleep outside the tent and look at the stars never really talking, found out a year later that he was gay.
The stairs that led to the computer labs during middle and high school; I would stay there staring at the ground when skipping classes because barely anyone walked by.
being at the hospital where I was when I had an asthma attack. I was just lying there, but I remember the room I was in perfectly.
