we feel nostalgic for a past that holds us back to our own peril
even as times change we want that which has been true to always be true
we use nostalgia to pretend it was better in our memories
looking back fondly should never be confused with wishing to return
so many items from the past make me wonder what were they thinking
it was yesterday so you think, when nostalgia catches up with you
things we remember in the haze of nostalgia rarely deserve it
to reuse something we cannot look to its past only its future
to long for the past is to deny yourself a place in the future
it seems odd to me; we buy others’ memories to replace our own
