there is something very fascinating about listening to older people talking together.
i'm currently at my parents house and some old friends they haven't seen in 20 years just drop by, unannounced. listening to them remembering some old memories, catching up and even gossiping make me realised that growing up is not that scary. in a way, it's just a concept ?
maybe i needed that tonight.

I remember all my best friends of my childhood, i just find it really nostalgic how we no longer talk, we used to do everything together, be in each other houses just playing and talking and watching movies, i understad that we are older and different in so many ways, but understanding it doesnt make it less nostalgic

its call takes me back to when I was outside all the time as a kid. my cousins and I often explored our family's property together, climbing trees, walking across frozen streams, seeing wildlife and flowers, and really just being innocent children. we aren't really close anymore though.
its call takes me back to taking a walk many years ago. there's a photo from it, me walking up a hill, my toddler self with my grandma and dad holding my hand on either side of me. I've seen the original photo too, with my dad as a toddler walking up the same hill with my grandma about 30 years before that. I'm glad I have that photo because, not long after the photo was taken, she was too.
its call takes me back to being at my grandpa's house early in the morning after my mom dropped me off before work in the summer. maybe there were birds in the birdhouses on the porch. and maybe there were nestlings being taken care of by their mother, and we could hear their soft chirping through the screen door. we had to have the door open because there was no air conditioning. well, not was, there was never air conditioning or heat. but I never minded because he always made sure I was cool or warm or whatever the season called for. I'm freezing now though, and he's not here anymore to help me.
its call takes me back to when things were a lot simpler, and I find peace in that feeling.

When I think about it, I think most of my nostalgia stems from being a child because I was unequivocally aware that I was filled with joy and trusting my present state. I was able to thrive in naivety because I was around people who had my best interest at heart. I didn't feel heartbreak simply because I was a child and had no purpose to date. I never felt true betrayal (even on the contrary of my second grade best friend randomly becoming my third grade bully...or attempted bully). My friends lived next door and on hot summer days we stayed outside from sun up til the street lights came on. Riding around the neighborhood on our bikes, buying candy from the corner store, then playing hopscotch with the bigger kids across the street. The nostalgia to truly feel free from the complexities that I face daily with interactions.
I look back and my sisters and brothers were always around. I think about the days where we danced and sang songs. Never aware that that day was the last day where we are under the same roof, laughing and mocking but with so much love in our hearts that we don't care. We just feel good.

I started doing this lately and feel like it's a good way to know more about the movie production but also the society context snd time period the movie has been made.
I think it's interesting to reflect on how the time has changed since (especially for older movies) or what was the inspirations and things like that.
Anyway, highly recommend !

sound silly but i realise that my comfort zone is so small when i got so anxious about getting a library membership.
talking to a stranger and telling them what i need and wants make me so vulnerable and i don't know why. and i'm not gonna beat myself over this. i succeed in getting that membership after all and i'm proud of myself.
so yeah .... i guess sometimes stepping out of your comfort zone is about doing the small little things that scares you.
see you in the library ✌🏻
