Being too caught up in the past misses the PRESENT

There is no future, the future is just as much as a illusion as the past. If you are always looking forward, you miss the now.

You’re 100% correct lol. If you’re pushing 30-40 and always reflecting on your high school days, you peaked in high school lol

Sometimes I think I live in the moment too much. I’ve had a great life and a lot of great experiences and I often feel like I don’t recognize that enough. I get too caught up in my day-to-day emotions and can’t appreciate the big picture.

Yea I don't f*** with nostalgia like that

nostalgia is good in small doses

it is cool to think back to a certain memory
like you also got to appreciate and enjoy moments that are worth remembering, nothing wrong with that

you go on vacation to make lasting memories, no one is gonna crucify you if years later you think back to those moments or memories

the present is equally important and odds are you gonna eventually think back to the present (2023) just as nostalgically, you just can't see it from that angle yet..

so truly enlightening is knowing every moment is worth remembering and living, especially the present

While I do agree that there's something to be said about obsessing over nostalgic moments, some people do have a particular relationship to memory and how memory permeates their life and how the production of memories impacts how they navigate life.

Wrong. I can be nostalgic for times when I had less responsibilities and still lead a great life in the present. Sound like you are projecting.

2013, 2015 and 2010

Screw you too

But this perspective doesn't make for a hit thread

We been living in a culture of nostalgia ever since 9/11 @op everyone miserable get with the times

Mother f***er lemme play some damn Pokemon and listen to system of a down f*** u

Depends on what you're nostalgic for. If you're 30 and miss high school yeah you prob have some things to work on.

If you're 30 and miss when your only responsibility was cleaning your room and watching cartoons you're just a normal person.

Bout to cop these cause this dumbass thread

2019 was absolute ass

We ain't all miserable

Life too short to be miserable for the sake of being miserable

My homie had a party a few years back and a dude that was really popular in high school and fell the f*** off afterward was there asking people s*** like "who was the hottest girl in our graduating class" and we were looking at him crazy af lol like dawg we're 25 years old.

This is like super obvious

Same for me. Would take any of the past 4 years over 2019 lol

for me it was

summer 2020 in particular was an amazing time

2019 was my rock f***in bottom

But you have to hit rock bottom to climb out of it
