Imagination suppressed
Hey there. I want to share something with you that has troubling me over the last years. I have been too numb to care about this before, and not until now do I realize how stupid it is. I find this very complex to put down into words, but I'll try my best.
At times, it feels like I'm being haunted by environments from my past. Whether it is a now closed down grocery store, the kindergarten I went to or places from video games I've played; past environments just pop-up in my mind and stays whenever they feel to. They aren't photographic or detailed, but still as general as they have to be to create an ambience, some kind of background compliment.
I'm not the one who tend to put much attention to the past. These ambiences tend to be stuck though, and they appear ill-timed. They often appear in situations where I'm ought to find my energy and peace, where I really could use my vivid imagination and empathy. I'm especially thinking about music now, where certain pieces now are associated with certain environments, but also reading and even chatting with a friend on the net...
Can you relate to this way of cognition? Have you ever heard of this before? I hope what I'm writing really makes sense, feel free to ask for clarification otherwise.
