I know I constantly romanticize about the past. But there is a perfectly good reason for it. Something, anything for that matter that impacts your present state of being deserves a huge amount of respect and recollection. Be it your parents, a college diploma, old polaroids of drunken nights and days, an old tee shirt or uniform from an old sports or school, a card or letter from a long lost friend or loved one.
These ‘things’ however, are all material. And one day, whether it is from a natural cause or negligence, will be gone.
Memories, sounds, tastes and sights, will never leave you. Sure, they may fade over time as all things do. They’ll get blurry and distorted, like an old Metallica song, Joy Division or Pink Floyd tee, but they never truly disappear.
The past, is just like that. Except that it grows with you. You see it every single day. You use it every single day. And though, it probably looks, sounds and feels very different to how it was when it first started, you can always look back and see it exactly how it was. And you can do it whenever you want.
See you later this year old friend!
