My ex hit me with some serious nostalgia when for my birthday last year she bought me a Nintendo 64 and Nintendo Entertainment System since I sold those when I was a kid and instantly regretted it. It was also the second anniversary of my mom's death who passed on my 30th birthday so she was recording me while I was opening them up and I couldn't hide my emotions opening up Super Mario Bros. 3 again. I'll never, ever sell them again. If you're reading this, I don't hate you and never did after we broke up but just hated how distant we were in the end. Thank you for everything.

Nostalgia always hits me so hard, especially, rewatching old shows and animes. I remember when I was a kid, we're very very poor. We don't have electricity at home. We only have this small battery-operated radio where my mother always enjoys listening to her favorite radio dramas.
I began watching anime (Ghost Fighter and Dragon Ball Z) at our neighbor's house, who had the first colored TV in our area. 😅

I think I have a serious problem that I’m going through in my life. I’m stuck to my childhood past which took place in the early 2000s. I was just much happier and as you can see in my profile I dress like it’s 2006-2009 and do kandi and desperately look for lowrise jeans at goodwill and use old sites like MySpace and old games I have an old phone too and only listen to music from early 2k. And dwell over how hot topic isn’t the same anymore as it used to be when the logo was much cooler lol. The past makes me so happy though and reminds me of the happiest memories of my life and I began hating everything new and popular. I’m obsessed with old emo/scene culture because I grew up with that stuff and started my phase when I was 12. I always liked the early 2000s before but it was never this bad until my dad passed. I just wish I can live happy like it once was and it brings me comfort and makes me feel close to him but I do admit it’s been hurting me at the same time and I cry because I hate everything new because it’s not with my dad. It’s a weird way I’m coping and I know it’s not healthy but I don’t want to live in reality like I should. I know things like tiktok exists and the singers these days that are popular now but I refuse to use certain social media anymore and listen to certain things that are new. I never keep up with trends anymore and I’m still pretty young (19) I feel sad and hopeless sometimes and it’s sometimes not enough anymore and I want more of the last and I hate it and wanna move on but I can’t because I feel like it means moving on without my dad in my life. I still make my dad bracelets to this day and place it on his urn. :(

I miss the past when i listen to song and suddenly i got nostalgia feeling 😢
When i look at old picture then i begin to crying and everything remind me of past me that makes me 😔😟😥

[sauradipgaming]

It's partiality. 😲😲😂😆 So funny. Nostalgia makes us happy and sad at same time. Adding modernity will fix this partiality.

Your videos are right to the point, without all the usual distractions like background music, and the topics you discuss are very interesting. Well done!

[biranmorad]

In the past everything was better beautiful than now

[ElieZ]

Well done! I appreciate how you tied nostalgia with the subconscious and Jung. It seems that like the Jungian view of dreams, nostalgia could be a call for attention to some aspect of one's life. Thank you.

We all have that one friend group who completely disappeared from existence after we grew up

I don’t find nostalgia happy. It’s just sad because I enjoyed living my everyday life without any worry.

A great song-writer named Mark Kozelek (Red House Painters, Sun Kil Moon) has written many bitter-sweet songs that touches upon this very subject.

Personally for me it’s just life sucks at a certain point, and I have lived a life dense with regret and tragedy.

Nostalgia for me is a very bitter-sweet feeling.

Iive never felt it but it hurts just thinking qbout it

[mahmoudahmed-jcib]

No the past wasn't beautiful but we long for it to escape from new problems or long for the time when we were younger especially when we feel our life goes so fast and the youth is going away
