What comes to mind? Sights, sounds, and scents? Something special that happened the last time you were there? Do you contemplate joining them? Do you start to work out a plan of getting from your present location to the restaurant? Do you send your friends a text asking if they want company? Until the moment when you hit the “send” button, you are communicating with yourself.
When I think about a restaurant , my brain starts a private conservation. You imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of the food. You remember a special moment you had there before. You ask yourself if you want to join your friends. You start to plan your trip from where you are now. You think about sending a text to ask if you can come along. Until you actually hit "send", every thought is just you talking to yourself.
