I enjoy memories. They comfort me. They remind me of good times and great people. I see no problem with looking back and remembering all the happiness that you relate to a place, an era, a song, a film, a time.
Nostalgia gives you a warm feeling inside. It reminds you of positive feelings. It takes you back to other times of your life, an escapism, yet also a celebration.
Soon I am going to be visiting a place I used to live. I will see people I grew up with. I will spend time reminiscing and having fun. I will be drawn to how places have changed and how other places haven’t. I will be reminded how I’ve changed and how I also haven’t.
Looking back can be comforting. It can be inspiring. It can be motivational. It can ground you and your thoughts. It can also lift you up to new heights.
The comforts from nostalgia and memories are ones that warm us inside. I like this.
