When we're young, we think we have forever (or at least it seems that we do), so a longing to return to an earlier time (when, even if we had a notion of our eventual demise, it seemed to be so far away that we didn't have to worry about it) is perfectly understandable. Of course, memories are in our minds, but re-acquiring a toy, book, or comic from the past makes a memory clearer and closer, and that's why tracking down a tangible reminder can be so addictive.

So the question about the past, for me personally, could be phrased "I have seen the future, but was it good?"Artonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-46809812094440747392015-06-17T20:02:58.221+01:002015-06-17T20:02:58.221+01:00I suppose it would be unhealthy to obsess about th...I suppose it would be unhealthy to obsess about the past. As you say Andy, Nostalgia can go too far. Not everything about the past was brilliant and my own past is complicated. But up to a certain year it was uninterrupted and as you say Kev, no doubt shaped who I am today more than any other time. Everything I loved then I love now and maybe that's the same for most people. Living In The Past is one of those glib modern remarks like You need to Get A Life or You Need To Get Out More!WOODSYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456645970983569001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-38771536382985985032015-06-17T18:03:16.821+01:002015-06-17T18:03:16.821+01:00The past has helped shape what we are, for better ...The past has helped shape what we are, for better or worse. So unless we lose our memory, we carry our past with us.<br />I distrust the term nostalgia, it is all too often used by people who want to obliterate something positive from the past. <br /><br /><br />Andy Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-59871781234106968542015-06-17T16:50:01.381+01:002015-06-17T16:50:01.381+01:00Nicely put.

There are many aspects of the past that I really enjoyed and some of them were better than their equivalents now and some were worse.On the whole though, I'm pleased by the fact that many of my childhood interests (TVSF, model making are examples), are still going strong and form a link from my past to (hopefully) my future!KevinDnoreply@blogger.com
