Nostalgia and Hindsight
Filed under:
work on nostalgic memos quite frequently when I travel. I look back at my life, my childhood in particular. Certain memories are simply eroded as time goes by and the only way to preserve these memories is by writing permanent, detailed notes (or taking photos, videos and and the like).
The other possibility is to carry on living in the ‘adult world’, completely forgetting what cannot possibly contribute to the future, yet still represents an age of freedom and carelessness. Some memories are better left behind and forgotten, but without memory of one’s family and age of innocence, this riddance from invaluable memories is like throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Take a moment to remember; every now and then…
