Most of them from my childhood, and most of them involving...food. Not necessarily smell, but taste. Now, many decades later, if I can re-create the food, I can re-create the memory.<br /><br />Now I'm hungry...(wanders off to make a memorable snack...)Liana Laverentzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17541637851147603199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869527318255268135.post-87923083482147171722010-11-30T18:31:40.242-08:002010-11-30T18:31:40.242-08:00*waves back* I find that totally believable.

That's where my great grandparents lived when I was little and for some reason those are the memories the smell triggers. I know, weird... just like me. :PLauren Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12153107734632854508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869527318255268135.post-83710156582609467532010-11-30T04:32:36.050-08:002010-11-30T04:32:36.050-08:00Isn't that weird?

I can smell ginger lilies and be hiking the rain forest as a teenager, no matter where I am.<br /><br />:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14553958040386480998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869527318255268135.post-61424807324299666672010-11-29T05:02:37.908-08:002010-11-29T05:02:37.908-08:00Huh.

One clear snapshot of an event in its entirety. <br /><br />I'll echo the smell thing, too. There's one brand of men's cologne that I can't smell without thinking of the Caribbean and cruise ships. Oddly enough, it's the scent the ship's captain wore. <br /><br />I met him once. He picked on me (in a nice way) for being a bookworm when he thought I should have been on the top deck making friends and flashing skin. (I was 16 at the time.) <br /><br />I saw him maybe twice more, but didn't speak to him again. I would still smell him in the hallway, like I'd just missed him.Hailey Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198366574573877171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869527318255268135.post-61289649861117777812010-11-29T01:40:37.697-08:002010-11-29T01:40:37.697-08:00...do you know smell is the truest memory you can ......do you know smell is the truest memory you can have?

I have had memories so vivid I swear I've been transported through space and time. I've had potent memories triggered by a specific smell (smell is usually the strongest) but also things I've felt (physically and emotionally). It's nice to have an explanation behind it.Lauren Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12153107734632854508noreply@blogger.com
