Nostalgia and Melancholy

I’ve reached an age where it’s finally sunken in for me that my childhood is gone and I can never go back. Though politics and other government centered places had more issues, life itself just felt…happier. I miss so much, I wish I could have it back. I didn’t appreciate it when I was younger. I miss the internet not being SO prevalent in our lives. I miss cute flip phones and sidekicks. I miss cable television. That’s one that I didn’t expect. I wondered lately why I felt so sad in my new house. Then I realized that it was too quiet. I never thought much about just how calming having commercials on softly in the background were. It was my white noise. I miss the static feeling that came from touching the tv. I miss just playing outside all day. Summer just doesn’t feel like summer anymore. I miss my friends. I miss my little zoo pal plates and my little snacks. I miss cereal straws. I miss dvds and VHS tapes. I miss burning mix cds. I miss having a profile song. I miss so much and I’ll never get it back. What do you miss?
