On Nostalgia

It may feel like the loss of a loved one. If you every asked me, " do you regret not enjoying those moments?", I would simply say yes.

Was I in a bad place back then? Absolutely. Where am I now as compared to then? Much worse.

Remembering those years, I think to myself of how much time I had back then. It all came to me as a gift and rather than appreciating it's beauty, I chose to evaluate it's value based on whatever I had in mind back then.

I still cry sometimes when I encounter that place, those people, that scent. It puts me, for a moment, back in those shoes of mine, which are worn out now.

But is there something that can be done? Any spell olto relive those days? Any accident that wakes me up back in those clothes and I think to myself, "so it was all a dream?". A dream I wish never comes true. But no. That moment which I always hated is the one I wish to experience once again.

Could I someday, encounter those same people?

No one really knows.
