fuck nostalgia

Wrote this today on a walk.

——

We place too much emphasis on nostalgia.

We spend so much time looking back.

Sometimes, when faced with what seems ordinary, we reflect rather than connect.

The truth is, there’s no such thing as ordinary.

We’re surrounded by endless manifestations of ourselves, all various expressions of the universe.

It’s all a miracle.

There’s so much to miss when looking backwards.

Memories beckon from their old place in time, but in and around us life cries out for our embrace.

Why focus on the intangible when you could just reach out and touch?

Why try to recall what’s gone when you can breathe in what’s here?

Life is offering you a long drink of forever in every single second.

It’s all a miracle and we are here to bear witness.

Fuck nostalgia, be here now.
