I don't think indulging in a bit of nostalgia from time to time is a bad thing, as long as a person doesn't become consumed by it. It can sometimes be of great comfort during times of great stress. But it's a double-edged sword. If a person indulges too much, it can make them pessimistic, or even depressed.
Time is an endless path upon which we're forced to walk ever forward. Sometimes the path is smooth and straight and the road ahead is clear. Other times it's treacherous--rocky and winding and dark. Sometimes we hit what seems like a dead-end: an apparently insurmountable obstacle--be it a giant boulder or a vast chasm--that prevents us from moving forward. It's in those times when we can draw comfort from thinking back to when the path was smooth and straight. But it's a false comfort. It only seeks to ease the despair brought about by our current situation. So, we have to decide: do we stay where we are, satisfied with how far we've come, and live out the rest of our lives fondly remembering the "good old days," or do we push forward, knowing the path continues on, but not knowing what's on the other side? Some people are fortunate to have met other travellers along the way who can help them--even if those people ultimately don't follow. But in the end, the decision how--or even if--we proceed is ours alone.
Sorry if this is corny or makes no sense or just sounds like a bunch of metaphorical bullshit.
It makes a lot of sense, dont worry. Answering your post, Im not depressed or anything, I just got that feel and ''mehh'', kinda like I accept it but I dont want to have to. In fact, I believe I'm a possitive/happy person, or thats the image i have of myself ><!

)... now when I watch those new versions of it with the gf's kid it just makes me sad.
This is the kind of topic I have to return later when I'm alone and have some weed and whiskey. Too deep for sober me.
Hey, I created this post while high on morphine, it was just floating around my head to say something about it, so I did. Answering to your ''too deep for sober me'', sadly it isnt deep enough for my sober me, so I can still keep going deeper :LUL:
