seeing I was once able to be so close to someone, having been going through old postcards and finding the majority of them coming from my used-to-be best friend.

remembering the last time I met my teacher. She holding herself close to my Airpods, listening to a shabby recording of me playing with someone else, and I promising I'll be the one to buy us meals once I started to work. (came across a video of my musical brother back at school performing a concerto, which she liked)

realising I don't have a good memory as I thought I do. Logged into an old forum I used a lot and saw a post I made ten years ago on discovering some antique stamp collection my dad and his late brother had. In fact I was just rearranging these days ago, moving them to a new, more solid cardboard box. Noticing they were gone from their usual place, Dad came to confirm that I had't dumped them, saying they "could still make some money". I don't know if I'm more saddened by that maybe he now feels this is the right thing to say to prevent me getting rid of them, or that I'd completely forgotten the origin of these stamps, if not for this post.

being reminded of a handshake. Was reading a manga where Makio was offered a handshake at the end of meeting their new alloteed attorney and later initiated one when meeting Emily's mum: it felt weird when you were doing it, but quite nice after it's done. This is exactly how I always remembered that handshake, no matter how fragile memories had become.
