the most therapeutic experience i think ive ever had has been revisiting minecraft worlds from when i was a kid.
i went through a really difficult time last january (messy breakup, shitty dorm life, health complications, family drama, social isolation, everything kind hit me at once lol) and it was so nice at a time where everything felt so complicated to be reminded of simpler times.
i had brought my old xbox with me to college and for some reason or another i loaded up minecraft and scrolled the world selection screen all the way to a world i made with my brother and sister nearly ten years ago. we all live in different corners of the country now and i haven’t seen them in ~2 years at this point. i walked through the farm, boat racing tracks, rollercoasters, and houses we’d built for ourselves and just started crying.
in other worlds there are memories with friends i might never speak to again, high school crushes ill definitely never speak to again, and family i miss dearly all bundled up in a game that takes up just a couple of gigabytes on my xbox. survival worlds started during a sleepover and then quickly abandoned, creative worlds set aside for statues or houses with redstone wired lights, and a sea of worlds empty and abandoned with nothing in them at all.
i think revisiting those worlds and those memories gave me some much needed closure on things.
i still go back to my old worlds every once in a while and walk around, and im so grateful to have them to look back on and see how far ive come.

i decided to bike around with an old route i used to whereabout as a child since i’m a litol down 🥺
for me, visiting a childhood spot/playground is sentimental and it heals a piece of your inner child in some way. (at least for me, might not be for everyone)
i like wall climbing as a working adult now so that after biking around, i remember that this is the first place i tried a mini wall climbing here as a child.
got teary-eyed because i‘ve been feeling a stranger to myself lately and some old places will remind you of the good times, who you used to be, and that no matter how different times are, you’ll remember how you used to like the stuff you’ve been doing now and/or before. i can’t help but to remind myself, it was there all along.

⭐Some of us are getting old, and it’s time to revisit our past lives (our childhood/youth). I’ve had so much fun listening to old warped tour bands and seeing who held up and who didn’t (spoiler: underoath and Norma Jean still rock). Make your favorite childhood meal. Go watch your favorite childhood show on YouTube. remember your youth and enjoy how far you’ve come.

when I dont go back it feels like the last thing that happened there is frozen in time, repeating in my head. but when I return and just exist there calmly, it reminds me that time has moved on, that moment is over, and it wont happen again.

the way this song slowly builds and then hits you over and over again like a wave with its bridge is utterly phenomenal. one of the few songs with a runtime over 5 minutes that really earns it
this song feels like running into an old friend while walking through a secluded forest in the fall and then catching up over a cup of black coffee
