nostalgia
(n) a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations.
I recently unearthed this old account, believing it was lost forever. I’ve had it since 2007, filled with posts, blogs, and photos. Each one holds memories, moments I desperately wish could be frozen in time—events I never wanted to end. Yet, time moves forward, and so must we. So, consider this a reintroduction, a small window into those cherished memories, not for the sake of dwelling, but to guide us as we move ahead. Still, I had to let go of them here, even though part of me longs to hold on. Sometimes, we must release the past to truly move forward.
Nostalgia is a powerful drug, isn't it? It pulls you back to a place, a memory—something that feels so familiar yet so distant. You can’t help but shake your head and smile, wishing for just one more taste of that moment. We get caught up, trying to recreate it, to feel it all over again. But no matter how hard we try—returning to the same places, surrounding ourselves with the same people—we can never quite capture it. Things change, people grow. We chase that fleeting feeling, but in the end, it’s just that—a memory. All we can do is hold onto the warmth it left behind.
And so with that, I close this first entry with a random photo I've taken a couple of years ago.
