Every memory is as crisp and clear as the day it was made. The good ones which I daydream about, and the bad ones which make me nauseous. I don’t like the latter very much but my brain seems to; playing them like film on the back of my eyelids while I try to sleep.
I don’t know if I would recommend this actually…

i’m a very nostalgic and sentimental person. i feel that i’ve lived a majority of my life in my head, and i find that i enjoy the past more than i ever enjoy the present.
i don’t think nostalgia is a bad thing, but i can definitely fall into feeling sad because i’m yearning for different eras of my life (here’s the kicker- even if i know i was actually miserable during that time, but now that i’m slightly more removed, i’ve romanticized the experience)
well the other day my mom and i talked about the idea of being nostalgic for the moment you’re currently in. notice all of the little details that are creating the experience you’re having, and be grateful that you live a life that’s worth remembering and looking back on. file that moment away, so then, weeks/months/years from now when you’re looking back on this moment, you’ll know that you experienced it fully.

Don't just reel in the good ol' days... let them consume you like a whale. No new generation can take lived experience turned nostalgia away from those who were really there. Stay up extra extra extra late, tossing and turning in bed, rattling your mind about a time you'll never get back (and probably wasn't even as good as the way you put it on a pedestal today). Will we get memories when we die?

William Reed wrote, “The sky contains it all. It is the canvas on which the entire universe is written.”
I look to the sky in times of adversity. The stars often remind me just how vast the universe is, and suddenly my afflictions become manageable. I am reminded of how beautiful the world is when I see the birds fly in formation overhead; when I see the sun set and the sun rise; when I look on at the moon and feel connected to everyone from all of time who have done just the same.

This is the most devastating book I've ever read. It is one of my favorites. It will make you appreciate the good times even more.
