Visiting Favorite Places

Did you ever try to go back to a place because of the memories that were created there?

I've decided that revisiting a memorable place often doesn't work for two reasons: the place has changed and/or I'm not the same person I was when it meant the most to me. The place -- like a school or an old house, for example -- may have a different appearance. And the perspective I bring to it is different now because of what's happened since leaving the place. I think it's best to keep a still photo of that place in my mind and look at it from time to time. When I view it in my mind, the image is linked to the good memories and emotions that went with it. In my opinion, that's the best way to visit it.
