Flashback

Memory for me, is a labyrinth where we hide things, whose destiny is to remain there, intact, until we come back because of whatever is a trigger for us. In the last class we had, we were asked to remember the first class based on something in that class that transported us to the first... That's kind of what a flashback means, I will explain with this example: 

Today the teacher arrived and said hello with his deep and strong voice. That took me to the first class when I was expecting everything, then he arrived and  started speaking and his voice made me think the class was going to be fun. 

That was kind of what the teacher was expecting from the excercise, but from every single one of us. I must say not everyone understood that, but we did our best until we all could make a better example, thinking of those triggers that make us think of something that was not forgot but turned off, while we find that thing I call "trigger" or also "detonator" for those memories, good times or feelings that in any moment of our lives, made us feel great. If I had to answer te question, What detonates you? It would be really hard to know, many things make me get into flashbacks, but I think they're always different ways to get to the same point, things that are related to my memories in any way. Actually I don't focus too much on the way I become involved in flashbacks, but I'm sure It can be many amount of things. Whatever is the trigger, I'd like to know which is yours readers. Are you able to answer? 

Thank You

  1. Hello Pipe, how are you doing?
    Well, I do not know if I am able to answer your question but I will try.
    I have to say that every moment of my lifetime is full of memories. I love it when these images are presented in my mind because it makes me feel closer to my home and my family (and relatives). I agree with you when you call that effect 'detonators', because actually it is like a sudden remembrance that appears when something special happens; for me is like a religious experience.

  2. Hi pipe...
    Answering to your question we would say that everyday, any moment and any place could be a detonator for having a flashback... there are no rules nor specific facts just moments that come back in a different way and make you feel or remember someone, even something you already have lived.
