In memory, you can access something from the past, anything that you've experienced that you remember - it's there. Now, you might have a memento of it in a photograph or in a film or a building or some clothes that you wore. There might be something that connects you to this memory. But all of us are just all caught in this time, whatever that is.

These things don't interest me in the slightest, but I get so caught up in the color or the texture of the sounds of something. That's so funny to me.
