Nostalgia exists because loneliness is a timeless human condition

I find myself joining websites that are so close yet so far from when I had so many friends (that didn't know me at all)

I'm longing to be remembered I'm dying to be known by people I've known forever

I'm searching for a home that simultaneously never existed and burnt down decades ago

Wandering the halls of my past trying to understand

The good cherry picked and the bad shattering like glass into my flesh

Humans do this

it's our way of remembering

our way of moving forward

our way of measuring an identity and the passage of time

we're searching for our loved ones in our memories

we're trying to accept ourselves by sifting

the red thread of fate isn't just what ties you to me,

it's what ties me to all of myself in all of time.

I hope we all find the love and peace we seek
