Perfect prompt for NYE!
I feel nostalgic about the 80s, the 90s, news stories about the MIddle East, toys I grew up with, and shows and movies from my childhood. You know, the things that make everyone feel nostalgic!
I feel nostalgic for the times when I thought I could do anything or go anywhere in life. I wish I was back in a place where I felt like the entire world was open to me. But time has knocked that out of me now. I know that there are doors that were always closed to me, I just didn’t realize it when I was younger.
I feel nostalgic for the year I was hoping to have in 2023 that didn’t turn out exactly the way I had hoped and planned. I lost time due to the Squatter and all that came along with that.
I feel nostalgic for the 10 year old version of me who had so much confidence and hope in the world. I feel closer to that person than I ever have as an adult. This year has been amazing in connecting me to that incredible person. I wish I could meet that person now and let them guide me into the future as they imagined it all those years ago. I wish I had that insight into what I used to be and how I thought about things, long before the world and my father knocked me down repeatedly “for my own good.”
Heading into 2024, I want to keep the nostalgia of 10 year old me alive in my heart and in my brain. I think this is the way to finding complete happiness again. Yes, this is the way.
