Nostalgia


Something taken from my mg graduation book....
reflects how i feel...

Nostalgia: It comes from the words nostos and algos;
of returning + pain.

Nostalgia is the feeling of having both the desire to return, and feeling the pain about the return being unreachable.
Nostalgia is the path upon which you tread, sensing that life around you is somehow changing,
not quite knowing how yet knkowing, not quite all too well, that you will return to find things different, life having worn itself around the gap you left, a life you almost wish to return to yet you painfully know you cannot.
You realise, during those beautiful moments you wish to cling on to, that reality is no longer what it was when it was; it cannot be reconstructed, it cannot exist outside of the precise mement it took place. You realise life is an unending series of unique waves crashing upon the shore, one after another; swash and backwash advancing and receding; here and there leaving traces of washes before, inherently and inexplicably mixed together yet never quite the same as the ones that preceded it.

Too soon, all too soon.... time is flying by....
and all I can do is watch the world spinning past,
watching it and remembering
That Life is Beautiful........
