Today I asked myself why things I'm reading/watching/seeing for the first time can cause strong emotional responses. What I mean is something like a song I've never listened to before on the radio making me feel sad or happy or a random picture on Google Images making me look at it for 10min. Things that cannot be directly connected to memories. My theory is that I either identify with a person in a story (when talking about books) / the lyrics of a song; that these things can tell me more about myself. Thats why I made this thread: I'll post stuff I found irl or on the internet here that caused a strong emotional response (positive or negative) so that I can have a look at the collection after some time and maybe find out more about myself.
Future posts will include:
- books (English title / language in which I read it if not English)
- songs (with YouTube link and comment if I''m referring to the video, the song or both)
- poems (always original language, translation linked if the original is not in English)
- pictures (either with link or short comment)
- movies (English title / language in which I watched it if not English)
- quotes (English translation / original version if not English)
