your love is the place where i come from

some say that the strongest thing tied to memory is the 'scent', a particular smell of some sort, but i believe it is the memory itself. its what you make it just like everything else in this life. i like when the author was referring to the song that had come to mind when he first went to the hotel for the event he was hosting. it seems like the more he thought about the song that was playing at the time, the more memories that ame to mind about that night. he was saying how some songs that he liked reminded him of certain stages of his life and then there were others that he simply liked just because of the song itself. he was able to own the songs. he was able to own them and differentiate between the ones he owned and the ones who owned his memory. that was something i never thought about. most songs that i like i like them because they remind me of something or someone, i havnt really thought of why else of a reson to why i like a song, or even know why i like a song other than the fact that it reminds me of something else. why cant i like the song for what its actually worth? that, i dont know.

another strong point the author touches on is the fact that most people who write, write to reach a deadline, or lenth that is required, instead of writing what they feel. this was something that took me by suprise, just to hear another author speak it. i was aught by my highschool writing teacher that you should never write to 'reach'. i guess that part wasnt so important but it stood out to me becasue i had never heard that before, most people especially English teachers stress the fact of writing to a minimum or maximum amount of pages but there were two people actually disagreed and thought that you should write only to explain or complete a thought
