I think that we have made wanting to look back, look bad. I often hear people say “stay present”, “don’t focus on the past”. And I guess they mean don’t look back at bad times that are gone, but we don’t talk enough about how beautiful is to remember the good times, going back to a time in our memory where we were happy. Being “nostalgic” can have sometimes a bad connotation because we maybe get sad that some people are gone or because we wish we could go back... But I think that nostalgia can be a beautiful feeling, is all matter of perspective. Instead of being sad because something is gone, I’m happy that I lived it.
Looking back at good times makes me happy, looking at old photographs of my favorite moments fills me with joy, my soul is happy and makes everything that is botherig in the present less meaningful, it makes me feel grattitude and makes the strugggles of daily life worth it. Life can be really hard sometimes and I need a reminder of the good times to feel better again, to be reminded of how beautiful life can be. y is why I make sure to document all the happy moments. I keep my favorite photographs and I look at them when life gets tough, so I can keep moving forward.
