An Organic HDD (9/365)

It's funny how our brain records each and every detail of our life yet we are unable to recollect much. We remember in bits and pieces yet someday you smell some perfume , maybe hear a song or take a bite of an amazing delicacy and it all comes crashing down. Memories I suppose. Everything is so intricately recorded yet we never realize when it does.
Here I am sitting in the bus, on my way home and out of all places I get this amazing fragrance of a perfume from ages past and my eyes start searching for the person who has applied it. Unfortunately it's not anyone who I know, but it certainly did take me back to my school days, to that girl who I had a crush on. I could remember those exact moments as if I was 18 years younger.

Quite long ago if you ask me. I didnt even know I remembered all those moments but I did and that's exactly what's so amazing about our memory device. It has picked up everything, and as you go ahead without remembering anything , it still gets you glimpses of it's recordings whether you like it or not.

This is something I remember Google photos and Facebook doing all the time . We all remember posts like 2 two years ago, 4 years ago on this day etc. And they refresh a part of your memory....or maybe just remind you of the memory that you have. Pretty amazing what they do considering they remind you instead of you waiting to accidentally or coincidentally stumble across such things .
But is it really good? What if you were in an amazing relationship and you had a bad break up and have moved on. But then one day..boom..5 years ago on this day you were with an amazing person who changed your life and then your memories flood through your tears.
