-Going down the cereal isle and still looking for the “hidden prize inside” ads and sadly realizing there aren’t any.
-Scented slime with my kids and I still call it Gak and bummed it doesn’t smell the same.
-Fireworks on Fourth of July going off and remembering people I don’t see anymore.
-playing super Mario with my son
Oh don’t even get me started. Nostalgic flashbacks are like 90% of the reason I’m not suicidal.
For me a weird one is when I walk out in Spring and feel the sun on my face with a little bit of a breeze blowing. Reminds me of the times I used to actually go outside with my friends and do all kinds of adventurous shit.

So here I am, doing everything I can.
Playing Link’s awakening on my gameboy pocket
Music or movies from the early 2000s
The basic minecraft soundtrack
power rangers alert/notif noise
Old music
The Powerslave album.
The 2019 wow classic announcement from blizzcon
Listening to anything from the band Boards of Canada. Beautiful warm, and sometimes worrying, loveliness.
Smell. But not just smells. It’s that smell of something that it brings you to a moment in time that were just utterly happy
