I was hearing a song from my teens. Hearing it took me back to those days. It awakens a feeling inside my body. The same feeling, I think, I had back then, but not sure. This feeling comes together with memories. 

Which memories stay with us many years later? what does it mean that we kept those memories and not others. 

Sometimes I wish I had documented more of my thoughts and experiences from back then. 

• I recall weekend nights, alone or with a group that is too large. 
• Listening to the radio, late at night or really early in the morning. Imagining the radio guy is talking to me. 
• Sometimes trying to record a song from the radio on a tape cassette and getting upset when the radio guy didn’t wait till song end. 
• Riding my bike to local “blockbusters” to rent the latest youth movie. 
• Sometimes wishing I had a close someone to share my thoughts and fears. But keeping most of it inside. 
• Dialing a friend’s house in the land line phone, asking his mom if he is at home. 

Wondering what would I do differently if I had the chance to go back.
