no experience is ever original, not your first love or the time you ate fruit thinking you made it in the city or the time you first read this essay and felt like an intellect

the memories you described are so vivid for you because these are likely the formative experiences with those things that marked your first conscious interactions with them. as your child self this was an automatic process, but if you are intentional in approaching your current experiences with this same perspective, it could be enlightening. maybe you stop to notice the taste of a favorite food, what was it about the flavor that first drew you to it? maybe listen a bit harder to that one song, which lyric/melody/progression draws you out of passive listening. in general, more active observation and attention to your senses will provide you with new connections to the things that might have become mundane, as you've interacted with them so frequently that your mind numbs you them
