Kevin SmoklerWhen we return to our elementary school playground or the site of our first kiss, we're dropping in on our own history years later. Visiting those same places in the present not only collapses time, but also memory.
About This Quote
The first kiss is a part of us that will never be erased. We can’t erase the first time we saw the other person, the first time we kissed, or the first time we were with them. No matter how many times you see someone you loved, you won’t ever forget their face. But time does play tricks on us.
When we revisit those places, our brains begin to play tricks on us by not remembering what happened there. This is why people often say things like, “I remember it so vividly, but I can’t quite remember what I said.” Time has erased this memory from our memories and replaced it with another memory that fits better for us to remember.
