What's a nostalgic memory you want to relive?

[skrundle]

aww, i'm sorry you're feeling sad! i totally understand, my nostalgia got so bad that i've actually had to start therapy. your 20s are such a strange and complex time, for sure. i was an animal jam player as a kid too, and i even used to get the Nat Geo kids magazine in the mail every month - i would check the mailbox obsessively for it! anyways, here are some memories i'd love to relive:

1. playing nintendogs, curled up on the couch in my childhood home.

2. our first summer in the new house, coming in from the lake and smelling the air coming out of the AC vents... something about that smell gave me such a wistful feeling.

3. my first real concert when i was 18... it was Modest Mouse. i got the flu halfway through, still worth it

4. any average day while me and my siblings all still lived with our parents. we're all super close and stay in frequent touch, but it feels so weird and sad living apart.

5. any random day of middle or high school. i wasn't having the greatest time then, but i do think i took my carefree days for granted.

the feeling of being the last one being dropped off by the huge school bus after a long day at school, with the afternoon sun on your face as you're keenly aware that all of this is temporary, and the bitter-sweetness of it. there is something precious when i look back at those moments, because they are mixed with memories of my childhood and the feeling of blank hope and optimism that a child may have. i have those moments still, but there is a heaviness to it now. the weight of responsibility. i regret nothing but i can't help but yearn to feel that sense of lightness once more, and ah well, maybe i will
