a street light, a cd and a christmas party.

Yesterday, I was going through my CD case in my car, and I found an old mix CD that I made back when I was a sophomore or junior in high school. I put it in, just to see what was on it.

I finally got through it today as I was driving around and discovered an old treasure at the end. Within half a second of first hearing it I found myself staring December 2005 in the face. Standing there, letter jacket, white explorer, cold, dashboard cd, Christmas party. I couldn't breathe for a second. And I stayed there for a while and let myself remember.

it is so amazing and intricate that three opening notes of a song can instantly make you remember things that you didn't even realize you forgot about.

I never thought I'd be able to forget.
