Find something you once loved and long to remember. Notice all sensory stimuli about it until you get a "hit". Ride this wave into the next memory carefully noticing anything that rides perpendicular. Any thoughts that may have been lost are usually the hardest to ride. But once you've got one others will come. Share your ideas on how to better expand your long term memory.
This has made me notice that there is very little I have loved to a great extent.

ReplyDeleteThis is pretty sick.
ReplyDeleteWow. This blew my mind.
