Looking back on life

[Aquaplant]

As a hopeless sucker for nostalgia, I'm often reminded about its somewhat deceptive nature. Yet there is usually always truth to it that something was better, but we usually just remember the good things about past events and not the bad. I sometimes think what it would be like to live my life anew up to this point while still knowing everything I do now. Apart from the fact that it would make one insane, it would be quite entertaining.

Anyhow, it's impossible to say, seeing how we are so weird in our ways of thinking, that we always think about things we want and things that would make us happy, but we never really know if that would be true.

What I would say is this. If this is true for you (you in general, not necessarily Aquaplant), be GRATEFUL for it. As someone who generally remembers the bad things about past events and not the good, it often really sucks going through life this way.
