Memories

Whenever I play Candy Crush Soda Saga, I start remembering summer afternoons when my sister would watch "The Young and the Restless" and I would play Candy Crush. Whenever I open that app now, I start seeing the actors and actresses from TY&TR in my head.
There's also a puzzle that I finished over and over again one summer while listening to the same song on repeat. Now I can see the puzzle whenever I hear that song, and when I'm doing the puzzle, I hear the song.
Is there anything that evokes a memory whenever you see/hear/feel it?

Yes, a lot of songs which I can associate with certain events, people,places. So nice to hear them again.

The only bad thing is when the memory isn't happy.

Recently , our daughter had her 4 days vacation at home and she would always be in our bedroom in her bed reviewing for her Board Exams , whenever i arrive from work in the evening .
Thus , every evening i arrive and see her bed , i can imagine her there getting up to kiss me and talk to me about my day at the office and her day at home. I miss her .

Sounds like you have a great relationship, and at least you have the memories to stay with you!

I've wasted so much time on that dang game. I'm even playing it right now. It's such a waste of time.

@koopharper Same here! I deleted the app from my phone but my sister started playing and so I started playing again.

@Macarrosel, I refuse to entertain something that flashed onto my memory, it;s not easy to deal the bitter past.

I figured more people had this happen to them. People just don't mention it often.

Haha, yes, memories can be good, but they can also be bad.

I think certain songs have a tendency to remind me of my teen years.
