There's that scene in Poltergeist where Diane (Jobeth Williams) feels the spirit of Carol Anne (Heather O'Rourke) flow through our soul.
I feel this is the best way to attempt to describe the nostalgic memory sensations I suddenly get.
It's like I'm remembering not the who, what, where but instead just the feeling I felt way back then.
Today it happened when looking at photos of our 2013 trip to Australia.
I rarely have a desire to return to Australia...especially when my Instagram feed tends to feed me posts about Australia being antisemitic. Or posts from Zionists who I'm pretty sure used to be progressive/Labor and now are Trumping.
But anyway....
I suddenly had this wave of feeling...the excitement and joy of being in Australia; the love we had for our friends; the idea we might be friends for life.
The wave is gone now. It was gone before I even started writing this post.
It was nice while it lasted...but at the same time...sad.
