I live fully in the present, pack my life full with as much experiences as possible; I do not regret the things I do, I regret the things I do not do.

I thought nostalgia  is a luxury that I can not afford, a distracting emotion that prevents me from living the present. I thought nostalgia is something that would leave me not living rather than living.

Nostalgia is a feeling. It is part of what makes me Human and I can not deny it. To deny it is to deny part of who I am.

To deny it is to deny an essential component of my experience s, moments of meaning that force me to feel. Nostalgia has proven to be the way to honor my past in the present.

For too long you were running on hope –

And it’s wrong but it works so –

You used wax to build your wings –

It’s not strong but it works so –

We walked down the back of your house –

We called to you to come out –

The curtains were drawn right down –

Just the sound of the suburbs –

Remember when you were a child –

You’d climb until you reached the Sun –

Reality frame doesn’t matter –

As long as you can say you’ve won. –

Nostalgia is a powerful combination of joy and sadness, and it carries within itself the acknowledgement that the passage of time is unalterable.

Time is a very strange concept. Time does not have real existence.

It belongs to the relative truth of the experience from your Consciousness. The past is gone, the future has not yet come, so you live for the moment of Now.
