Reasons I Hate Nostalgia
1) All the useless bullshit I did in the past somehow retains an untouchable importance.
2) All that was good seems better, and all that was bad seems to get lost in the crevasses.
3) I regret my present, overthink my future, and completely idolize my past.
4) I live in my head, retracing the streets I once lived on, closing my eyes imagining myself tangled in the bedsheets of places past.
5) Progress is stunted by its antithesis, flipping through the pages of a world that no longer represents my daily routine. Snapshot photos once vividly renewed with the blink of an eye, now fade and lose their color.
I’d like to appreciate my present, but when my mind is so committed to dwelling in my past, this becomes a hefty personal pursuit.
