The smallest details, any smell, word or song can recall our memories. They force us to relive a particular stage of life or a love story and make us comprehend the world of senses differently. If the event is bright enough, a mental spiral appears and draws us deeper into the whirlpool. The memories get distorted and exaggerated, happy moments are seemed more exalted, the pain is worse, thus there emerges a picture that is a little bit of reality, but at the same time it helps us to clarify the events and correlate them in time.
