It’s amazing how the human body’s five senses communicate with the mind. Sometimes just by taking a whiff of a stranger’s perfume, you  begin to stroll down memory lane and remember that one person you do not want to be reminded of. How you can simply walk into a room and see way beyond its walls. At times, your senses can cooperate, however, they can definitely work against you as well. It absolutely sucks when you’re in a great mood and that one song comes on the radio and then the rest of your day goes head first down hill.

Rooms... Rooms are memories. There are light rooms with great moments whose memories last a lifetime. The dark rooms, unfortunately, remind you of specific moments in your life that you had stored in the box labeled “DO NOT OPEN”; memories that you thought no longer existed. Those are BAD. Even worse are the hazy memories that those rooms throw at you, but that, no matter how much you try, you cannot get a hold of. Those memories are now nightmares.
