yeah I've tried the apple thing a few times a year for the past few years, and not once have I felt like I was seeing it. I just think of the outline of an apple, maybe how the light would reflect off it, and of a colour. all separate

I just imagine past apples I have seen, and it's really hard to hold onto one specific apple.

I couldn't possibly remember specific apples.

I could describe to you the Granny Smith variety (the only one I like), or maybe the Golden or Gala (the other varieties common in supermarkets around here), but not particular apples, unless I had actually tried to memorize their details (which would look like a list, not an image).

Maybe I don't care enough about apples.

I could describe my old pets (I did care enough about them to remember them), but, again, that'd look more like a list.
