A song, smell or old room can make the past feel suddenly near enough to touch. Warmth comes with it, but so does a physical ache for the time, place or version of home that the moment briefly returned.
Looks vs reality
The same Experience can look very different from the outside than it feels on the inside.
Just daydreaming or zoning out.
I'm re-living a core memory with full sensory and emotional detail.
They must be unhappy with their life right now.
I'm desperately searching for a feeling of safety and belonging.
Being overly sentimental and a little dramatic.
This is a physical ache, a homesickness for a time I can't return to.
They're avoiding their current responsibilities.
My nervous system is taking refuge in a 'known' emotional environment to regulate itself.
