To me, I treasure those memories so much that I’ve even formed ideas that I shouldn’t have, which turns into obsession. But things will be different if I can relive those good memories by eating. Such a feeling will become an instinct. Just like tasting mom’s cooking for the first time in early childhood, I still find it familiar after recalling it many years later.
