In this article, you would find the five things that are very common when you revisit the places.
1. You start thinking with whom you had visited that place before and what
things you used to discuss during those days?
It is normal human behavior to
remember the people with whom you had visited the place before. You try to
recollect those old memories and time you had spent with those people. You also
start recollecting the smallest of things you had done together during those
days. You tend to go into the flashback and try to remember all the fun you had,
all the chit chat you did, the food you had during those days, and all the silly
stuff you did together. The places may be tea stalls, cafes, schools, colleges, restaurants, amusement
parks, workplaces, your old village, the old house, any tourist place, and many more.
You often start thinking about what kind of a person you were at that time, what goals you had set at that place, and where you are standing currently. You yourself can analyze the growth you have made from those early childhood days or say bachelor days till now.
2. Think that the places you visited initially are not the same now so
there would be a different feeling altogether.
Change is the only constant thing
so whenever you revisit any place, you would like to see the same things again.
But as you know nothing is permanent and places and things keep on improving as
the days go by. You may be attached to one particular thing present at that
place and this time you don't get to see those things. So in such a case, you
may feel disconnected and try to recollect how the place used to be before how
it has changed now. You may like a few changes while you may dislike a few of them. If you don’t
like change you feel disconnected. It is natural that you should understand
that there are some things bound to change with time and you should accept those
changes.
For example: When you drive
through the old streets you will find that much old architecture has been
demolished of your time. New buildings have been constructed, a lot of new
restaurants have come around also the localities and the people staying there
have changed. The place where you used to meet for tea, coffee may be no more. This is very hard to imagine but that's a bittersweet feeling when
you know nothing will ever be the same again and everything is going to change.
3. You will start missing those people with whom you had visited the place
and start remembering them.
Some places are so close to your
heart that they make you remember your special people with whom you have lost
contact. These places make you realize that you have lost touch with those
people with whom you had spent your best time. You start remembering each and everyone who was your family cum friends and had helped you in every tough
situation. Most people move, change their jobs, locations, and begin a new journey
in some of the other places. We get connected to each other via social media but
this digital connection can't bring back the closeness until and unless all
people make real efforts to meet and stay in each other’s lives.
So whenever you visit such places your memory quickly goes to remembering those people and you pick up your cellphone and start connecting with each of them and ask about their well-being. Revisiting the places makes you realize what have you lost and how you can build the relationship again due to changes that took place in your life.
4. You try to keep those places in the heart that gave you happiness but try
to bury those places that gave you pain.
You know that the places make you
realize some bonds or make you remember some relationships, but not all
memories are good at a particular place. Some memories give you happiness while
some are so horrific that people try to forget those places as these places
keep on haunting your whole life.
For example, you may have had
quarrels with your best friends, unnecessary fights, breakups, bad experiences
with respect to your love life, bad incidences that occurred at any such place.
These places should be avoided for your betterment and go away from them
otherwise it will give you unnecessary stress. Otherwise, try to hide your emotions
and emerge out strong.
Some places are so close to you but the incidents at those places make you uncomfortable. Few incidences at those places would never be healed in your lifetime. Hence it is always on you to bury those memories at those places and avoid going to such places or face it as a challenge. It is always advisable for you to visit those places that would motivate you.
5. You look back at the place and think how far you have come from the
last time.
As you know changes are bound to happen and you need to reinvent yourselves and there’s no greater realization of that than when you come back to a place, like an unknown person revisiting his past. It may be that last time you were at the same place you had set some goals which you may have fulfilled after revisiting the place again. You aren’t the same person you used to be years back and will not be the same in the coming years. So you need to adapt to the changes and try maintaining the relationships once build in that place. The attachment to place never go from your memory, they stay forever. It is only when you revisit a place you go in your flashback and a cluster of things pop up.
