Nostalgia is a silent killer. It can be fun to look back at things from your past and reassess them now that you’re older. The issue is that it’s easy to be trapped in that trance. At a certain point, you have to get your head out of the past and start looking at the present.

I’ve been going through a bout of nostalgia recently and it can be difficult to get out. I always have to remind myself to live in the present and think about my future in a productive way. It’s especially easy to fall into when you’re at an uncertain point in your life. I don’t know what my future is going to be like so it’s easier to fall back on the past instead of trying to move forward. Instead, I need to use what I’ve learned from the past to move on instead of living in the past.
