Don't just reel in the good ol' days... let them consume you like a whale. No new generation can take lived experience turned nostalgia away from those who were really there. Stay up extra extra extra late, tossing and turning in bed, rattling your mind about a time you'll never get back (and probably wasn't even as good as the way you put it on a pedestal today). Will we get memories when we die?

⭐first you’re nostalgic for childhood then for being a teenager then for last year then for last november then before you know it you miss last week and you’ll never get the same feeling back and it gets closer and closer and your brain collapses 🫶

as scary as the here-and-now is, we can't go back! only forward! nostalgia is bittersweet and feels eerily comforting, but you can't hold or be held by a memory and there are a whole lot of people that need us to be present rn. shit is hard.

⭐even when i least expect it, it's always lingering.
waiting for
when this song sounds better bouncing off the walls in my childhood bedroom,
when running barefoot on the grass is something i yearn for,
when the corners of my posters start to wilt,
when the friends i made feel so far away,
when i grasp for the memory i thought i had yesterday,
and when running back home means no one is going to wait for me on the other side of the door
i just wish it didn't come and bite me back
i just wish it didn't come and bite me back
