Nostolgic and Free

What a blast from the past this is. I was recently reading my journal that I have been writing in since I was 12, and I realized something. Living in the past was something I found myself doing a lot, and it was depressing; things will never be that way again. I constantly was wishing I could go back in time back to the less complicated days. 

THAT'S THE THING THOUGH..

Life was never NOT complicated I realized as I was reading. I just had different complications. For some reason we do this .. selective recall .. and forget or ignore what was bad. Now don't get me wrong, I didn't forget a lot of the negative times I had as a young teen, but the reading my journal, I remembered exactly how I felt back then and it was no better then today. 

That

sounds

depressing.

But it helped me realize that life will always be complicated and there is no use wishing or dreaming I could rewind time. I am not content with the here and now and I am at peace.
