I'm the type of guy who gets "favorite songs" every few weeks/months and listen to that/those song/s at least once or more a day.As a result they get ingrained with my memory as something signifying that time of my life. That means whenever I hear them I remember what I felt like in those points in my life, including other memories like important events of that time, important places I went to, the smells in the places I had to go to all the time, and the atmosphere there.

It's extremely powerful considering last year I had my internship and had to move on to different clinics/centers/hospitals every 1 or 2 months. I had a at least 1 "favorite song" per rotation, and I'm the type of guy who listens to music if there's a chance. So now when I hear the songs I get some intense nostalgia of each place, may it be good, bad, or satisfying.

I can't always remember the which songs were the "favorites" of that time, but I get an intense reaction whenever I hear them again. My ritualistic nature may be the reason I have a pretty good memory of events in my life, at least at the later points of my life. It may also be why I'm extremely sentimental with my things. They're almost always associated with a memory. Maybe somewhere deep my subconscious is afraid I'd lose those memories if I lose that object.

... Why did I write this? Fuck if I know... A little bit of procrastination I guess...
