I look at my stack of notebooks that I have kept throughout the years and I know what each one represents: past lives, past struggles, past ideas and moments. I was and still am a person that writes vividly of moments and situations. I like to highlight sensory or perceptual cues so that when I might read that notebook years later, I am transported back to the time when I wrote it. Same like with a smell, only that words need much more senses associated in order to really facilitate a memory.
