Why do random memories come up at random moments?
« on: 17/07/2020 16:09:27 »

Why do random memories come up at random moments?
For example, suddenly for no apparent reason you remember a moment or an incident that you haven't thought of in years, and it has nothing to do with anything you're doing at the moment.


What do you think?
