Checkpoints in life?

Well I know I'm not the only one that has times like this. But I was wondering if anyone has what I like to call a "checkpoint" in life. What I mean by this is, is there some time where you guys just sit there and some how happen to dawn over something that brings back the past and you sit there and mesmerize on life and of the best time in your life with the settings, the songs surrounded that point in your life, the smell, the stuff you did just everything and realize how it is currently in your life and how you wish so bad you could just go back and enjoy that time that you enjoyed before and just thought about life and death and stuff? It's even more deep for people like me who have had near death experiences and it really sucks. If I had to die to go back to the time that I enjoyed once before just one more time I'd kill my self right now :p. Eh, ok I've gotten way off topic lol, anyways has anyone ever felt this?

YUp.... a smell will set that off for me bad.... music too. a song you havnt herd in a while.. that has meaning....

Yeah, me too man I hate that shit lol.

Yeah I feel that all the time. Especially when it comes to song
Most songs I listen to bring me back to a certain time in my life. One song = one memory.
I really do wish I could go back to happy times in life. Life just seems to be so harsh and negative now.
Ah life, what a fun thing to think about.. when you're high. Good times!
This is a good thread idea orangeman.

July 22/23rd is a nice checkpoint for me.

if im high and i start lunchin...and i got nothing to keep me busy i just start thinking...if i think for long enough i mind fuck myself and always end up on the subject of death....which really freaks me out..escpecially when im high :p

ya songs i havent heard in a while will do it to

I get the memories with certain smells. I remember when i was in year 2 at school [Grade 2]

The smell of cherries brings back memories of that, i dunno why, but i can remember colouring in pictures and running around the play ground.

Everything was so simple... Now its all about making money to survive, and hard graft.

If i could go back to being 7 years old for a day, i would.

Sometimes i just sit down and think back, and go over my life, and what i've got, what i've acheived so far.

Life is a strange thing, never to be taken for granted.


I end up thinking about death alot, but i try not to. Tbh, im scared shitless of dying, its terrible. I dont want it to hurt, i dont want it to happen. And if our souls live on, what happens to them?

They'll be around for EVER. Ever is a bloody long time, spesh when i cant sit still for 3 mins...

I always think, what if i die 2moro, what if i die before i have kids, and all this shizzle...

Why has life got to have a end that no ones knows.

LIP........youve officially scared the shit out of me.

my whole thing is what happens ater u die...i mean everyones got this thing where, u die and u go to heaven...but wtf is heaven?...

then i start thinking...what if i die and thats it...its the end...then i get this weird ass dizzy feeling, theres nothing gaurnteed to me, i havent been promised a tomorrow...its really creepy when u think about it...im just sitting here...waiting to die...and ocne u die what was the point of everything...why did i have to go through all that bs to have it ended in a blink of an eye...(which is why i think im so lazy...)

Wow, this thread is deep. I dont wanna get into all this because I'll probably end up writing more than I expected to (lol) but to put it brief and simple I believe theres an afterlife. Our spirit has to go some where. I believe this body we're possessing is just a medium, just something so that everyone knows everyone by identification of the face and all but this really isnt us and thats why I dont cry or feel bad when some one dies because I know they have an afterlife, they're spirit lives on and if they lived right then they should be ok. We're really spirits and once we die who knows where we'll go but I definitely believe in an afterlife.

so u belive in god?

My 'checkpoint' occurs every birthday. I don't celebrate my birthday. Instead, it's a quiet day for me to reflect on where I am, where I came from, and where I'm headed. This is usually the time where I'll reminisce and become nostalgic about some things in my past. By in large, I use the time to look at the goals that I've achieved, what I fell short on, and what my next steps are going to be.

Sometimes i'll be sat doing nothing. Yesterday for example, i was sitting in the van on the way to work. I weren't driving so was "doing nothing", suddenly i had what i can only describe as a flashback to a time when i was in junior school.

I had a "Big Time" chocolate bar and lost it. Wesley found it. He said it was on the floor. I thought about eating, it was in the wrapper so i did.

The whole incident must of lasted about 10 seconds if that and i'd totaly forgotten about it. I cant remember ever rembering it before (if that makes sense) and suddenly it was just there playing out in my mind like a film.

Sometimes i think about all the people i went to school with and wonder what they're upto now. Alot of them are probs locked up but the "decent people", who knows?

I'd go on friends reunited.............if i didn't hate the bastards.

Yes I do.

that happens to me sometimes, i see a checkpoint more like a certain event that comes up and its kinda like a game to figure out how you are gonna get pass it, and then you either count your losses or reap your rewards whatever the turnout may be

indeed...lol

That was a really deep post, LIP. I enjoyed it immensely.

Great Thread! :thumbsup:

shit i hate thinking about death, but when you say there is an after life orange, well what id we are the after life of somthing else. i mean hasn't the universe been around for a long time well maybe afterlife is time travel, you know, well im just drunk and i think way too many things and shit its taking me along time to right this. Peace and love people. man, when ur high or drunk its so crazy becuase you think different and thoughts will just come like crazy. man if anyone has a chance to take a philosophy class do it, it will change your life.

Can we smoke weed in the afterlife. Seriously, do you think that we still eat and drink, like we do here and now.

Sorry for being so deep, its just this weed im smokings funny, and really does make me see things differntly.

Yea I get that many times whenever I smell something that brings back memories, go somewhere i havnt been in a long time that hasnt changed, sometimes i dream of an event way back that i had forgotten, sometimes memories just pop up out of nowhere especially when im stoned, and music really does that for me. Catamaran by Kyuss always brings so many great memories of my childhood back, I wish I could go back and appreciate it more.

Yep, smells do it for me too. I read an article about this a while back that said smell has more effect on our memory than any of our other senses.
