Pregunta para los que emigraron (o para los psicólogos)/ A question for migrants (or psychologist)
Alguna vez les ha pasado, que en el momento menos esperado, su mente los sorprende con un flashback, y de pronto se encuentran en un lugar o situación de las que solían vivir en su pais de origen?
A mi me pasa con frecuencia, aun después de casi 3 años. No es estar pensando y recordando....es sentirse de repente y por un breve instante transportado a un sitio, por ejemplo un semáforo que solías transitar, cierto tramo de un centro comercial, un arbolito en la parada del bus, un pasillo de la universidad...Nada muy especial, más bien ordinario, demasiado cotidiano, bastante insignificante para la memoria, algo que ni siquiera recordabas conscientemente, pero que te sorprende en un momento en el que no se supone que deba ocurrir.
Hace poco me pasó además con otro país, en el que viví por muy cortó tiempo, y me pareció aún más extraño, porque pensé que la nostalgia era siempre por Venezuela. Y en esta oportunidad no fue un lugar lo que recordé... fue más complejo, algo así como todo el combo sensorial (olor, sonidos, temperatura... el sentimiento de esa época.)
Lo más curioso es el momento fijo en el que ocurren estos recuerdos... puedes adivinar qué momento es ese? coméntame tu respuesta y veremos si aciertas.
Has it ever happened to you that at the least expected moment, your mind takes you on a flashback, and suddenly you find yourself in a place or situation you were used to live in your country of origin?
It happens a lot to me, even after 3 years. It isn't about thinking and remembering old times... it's a sudden brief feeling, of being transported to a place, like a traffic light on your commute ride, or a section of a shopping mall, or the random little tree by the bus stop, or a forgotten hallway at college....nothing special, rather ordinary, too normal, quite insignificant for our conscious memory, something you wouldn't normally remember, but it surprises you anyways, at a moment it wasn't supposed to.
Not too long ago, it happened to me but with a different country, in which I lived very shortly. I thought this was even weirder, because I thought I was only longing for Venezuela. And this time it wasn't the regular place flashback... it was even more complex, it was more like the sensory combo (smells, sounds, temperature... the feeling of that particular time)
What I find more intriguing is the exact moment in which this flashbacks occur. Can you guess which moment is this Write your guess in the comments, let's see who gets it right.
Que bien! Muchas gracias :)

This is a real thing? I always thought it was just in the movies.
Thanks to @anouk.nox, this post was resteemed and highlighted in today's edition of The Daily Sneak.
Thank you for your efforts to create quality content!
Well it happens to me..I'd say they are unexpected images that come to my mind. It didn't happen to me before I left my country, so I assume it has to do with the migration process. By writing it here I was trying to find out if anyone else has experienced it, but no one answered.
I mentioned psychologists, because they might have a name and explanation for it. I've never visited one because I don't consider it an issue, it doesn't hurt me or make me sad....It's just something a little unusual and I thought it was worth to share.
Thank you very much for getting interested ,commenting and resteeming. And of course, thanks to @anouk.nox for I considering my post to highlight it in the Daily Sneak. You guys do an awesome job.
