Nostalgia
There are certain things that you stumble upon during the course of the day that awakens memories of the past. These lost memories are triggered by old images or objects that were seemingly hidden under present situations and events or buried underneath piles of unused crap in the closet.
These memories tend to be restorative and reflective. Allowing me to put together pieces of a past that I once forgot (or abandoned) and use those very experiences to build upon the person that I have become today.
I realize there are things that I choose to forget. That’s just the way life is. But no matter how much I’d like to put it all behind me, I must come to terms that these lost memories are just as important to my future as the memories I’m making in the present. They will forever be apart of me and there’s no letting go.
p.s.
I’m at home on a Saturday night and it’s 12:34am. Just didn’t feel like partying…I think I’m growing too old.
Good night.
