It felt like something, a sliver of an old emotion, long ago buried with my old self. I didn’t realize how much I missed this.

I want to go back to before when there wasn’t an issue and my mind wouldn’t go so fast.

I miss sitting on garage rooftops singing with the birds and climbing high up in my tree, watching my neighbors and falling asleep .

I miss writing in the frog pond with Jordan with her new glittery gel pens, gold was my favorite- and listening to evanescence and watching anime.

I miss swimming and not being as industrious, though I suppose I was always on the go .

It’s all coming back to me, every time I open my mind.

As these rich memories unfold, I am more and more grateful and filled with hope.

I am more than who I am now and more than I was before.

I am both of these versions of myself in one body and I will remember and create new and beautiful things.

    Thank you for putting such a hopeful spin on nostalgia! It’s a perspective that I need more of.
