Certain memories can stay with you and not mean a thing, but someone can hit you like a rock. At first it stays on your mind more than anything else then it slowly fades to the back of your mind and other things become more important. But some people get an unexpected reminder of that memory, and it hits them like a train.
In the novel, The Dark Divine by Bree Despain, Grace is experiencing this crash. Daniel, Grace's older brothers pal was a crush of Grace's when she younger. Daniel joked around with Grace saying he liked her, and was just wanting Grace to smile and be happy. But Daniel struck Grace in the heart like lightning. He was her world, she watched his every move thinking one day, she could be the girl he would fall in love with. Until he disappears. Now that Daniel's returned, her attraction is growing. Seeing Daniel brings back memories for Grace that she would've never remembered on a regular day.
I relate to this so much because I have memories that I would never just think about, but get hit hard with.
I'm pretty sure everyone does. This book is beginning to show me how to handle memories, and also how to never take anything for granted because it's some of the biggest memories you'll have.
