All of us keep images in our minds that remain like priceless treasures, and that from timt to time appear again and bring with them a vast amount of feelings and sensations.
For me it`s enough to read a word or to smell something in particular and that evokes a determined image. What I don`t know quite well is the effect that old images have on people. For instance, whenever I remember something, it doesn`t matter whether the picture is a happy and colourful one, once it`s over, I always experiment a strong sensation of remorse and regret. Now the funny (or ironic) thing is that many times I surprise finding myself looking for those souvenirs from the past intentionally.
It is as if my heart were too busy -or not interested- to hear mymind`s warning not to go to that place. Family members, friends, a particular face, a scene on a movie or even a gesture provoke on me a diverse rain of sequences that each time leaves a different message.
Even when I can`t predict the moment in which the past will be back for some moments (so as tobe more or less prepared), I have a mixture of nostalgia and relief all in one. I do know it`s a contradistion on otself, but those are the moments in which I realize that I`m still able to project memories from my past in order to understand my present and build my future.

These are the things that tell you that you are alive, or maybe that's just how I read it?
You write in a very personal way, and it is a very refreshing one, and an honest one. But the blog is a little guarded, perhaps? Like you give away the "you" inside but not anything about where you are, not even down to which country.....Good luck whatever!
I've linked to your site if you don't mind? If you do, then let me know & I'll zap it.
