There is something very distant about the past to the present. A history, whether it be long term or short term, is a collective idea of the interpretation of the ephemeral moment. Every person perceiving the event has a different perspective and therefore a different history. The past is a story, a story not of truth but of preference. You create the story of the past and with that, mold the core of your present reality, the only thing real, our immediate perception.

A phenomena. how quickly a song pulls you from your current reality and sends you shuffling through your past in search of a parallel. Within mere seconds, the slightest hint of a melody begins to surface any linked emotions. you’re dripping in nostalgia, soaking in the sound.

Nothingness:

“I am my own existence, but my existence is nothingness.” (Lavine, 1999, p. 1)
