Just thinking
I need to add a new category, I guess: moments when I am actually content or even happy, so I can look back and maybe remember them.
Why is it so hard to remember emotions?

Mine are always intertwined with a visual image. If I don’t have the visual image, I think I lose the memory of the emotion.

Hmmm, never really thought about it. I certainly can remember one of the most unhappy periods in my life, and even thinking of it now makes me want to curl up under the table and cry. I can remember times that I must have felt ecstatic, but I can’t remember the feeling ecstatic particularly well, at least not with the same clarity as a few negative memories.
