Nostalgia Reject

I think I’m going to reject the act of nos­tal­gia from my life. Hind­sight, reflec­tion and appre­ci­a­tion of the past are fine, but com­par­ing the past to the pre­sen­t’s detri­ment is inef­fi­cient, irre­spon­si­ble and inau­then­tic. All moments are incom­pa­ra­bly pre­cious and moments past should not dis­tract and detract from the val­ue of the moments present.

  3. I real­ly respond to this post. I used to quote this say­ing I found on a for­tune cook­ie: “Time is pre­cious, but truth is more pre­cious than time.” Which actu­al­ly might be the oppo­site of what yr say­ing here, but it always made my head zing with some kin­da par­al­lax.

    Anoth­er say­ing I stole was from Bladerun­ner: “all these moments in time, lost like tears in the rain.”

    The more time I have to myself the more greedy I get. I’m burst­ing with words and cre­ativ­i­ty late­ly. Can’t get enough done or learn enough. Lot­sa lot­sa fun to be alive.

    My past is par­tic­u­lar­ly painful, and so I’ve had to learn to stop think­ing about it so much to dis­rupt the con­ti­nu­ity of con­scious­ness. Now that I’ve had some dis­con­nec­tion in time and space, I can grow beyond it and re-exam­ine with­out fear.
