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?

first you’re nostalgic for childhood then for being a teenager then for last year then for last november then before you know it you miss last week and you’ll never get the same feeling back and it gets closer and closer and your brain collapses 🫶

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.

as scary as the here-and-now is, we can't go back! only forward! nostalgia is bittersweet and feels eerily comforting, but you can't hold or be held by a memory and there are a whole lot of people that need us to be present rn. shit is hard.
