childhood memories

I don't remember that much from when I was little, it has to do with my ADHD. Apparently, people with ADHD generally have less childhood memories than a "normal" person, because we are there, but we are not present in the moment perceiving what is happening.

Nevertheless, I do have one memory that I connect with a special scent - the scent of an ice house.When I was little we got meat from the hunters in the forests around where we lived, and we kept it in the local ice house. And it was amazing going in to this house that was so cold, and you had to bring your jacket and when you entered you could feel the cold air in your nose going into your lungs. And there was this special scent, a fresh cold scent almost the same as if you put your head into your freezer at home, only much stronger. So every time I open my freezer I put my head and I take a deep breath to feel the cold air entering my lungs, and the feeling I get is indescribable.
