Remembering isn’t bad. Letting nostalgia caress us from time to time, like a warm, inspiring breeze, is not a negative thing. According to the experts, the human being spends much of the day “remembering”, but we cannot let this become an obsession.
One of the feelings that allows us to access our emotional world is nostalgia, when we remember a loved one or we lose a special moment in our lives, somehow we transport ourselves, suddenly we find ourselves wrapped in a myriad of feelings, images, words and sounds that have been stored somewhere in our memory. We are made of memories, memories and nostalgia.
- Sometimes nostalgia brings a little sadness.
- The happy moments of the past show us that in our present lack of joy and happiness.
- In those moments we run the risk of taking refuge in the past.
- A haven of dependence that we access on several occasions.
- Through photos.
- Letters and staff.
- Objects.
- We forget the present and take refuge in the past to fill the current gaps in our lives.
- That’s not right; Experiences should serve as a springboard to our reality and not as a window where we look daily to ‘spy on the past’.
- We can get lost and even fall into depression.
Nostalgia helps us to remember what we were, what we had, what we have already lived, to balance life and to learn from it, each experience is a knowledge that pushes us into the future, experiences are part of our personal file, where we can come back from time to time, but the door must be closed so that nostalgia does not enter our ‘now’.
The word nostalgia has an interesting meaning that illustrates its reality: it comes from the Greek knot (house) and seaweed (suffering). This suffering is the desire to return to a specific place.
We must think of the past with a sense of gratitude and appreciation for the experiences and with satisfaction of having lived such happy and full moments, we must not make the mistake of thinking that everything was better before and losing harmony between who we already were. live and the present moment. Our lives are an ongoing line and we must focus on the perspectives and goals for the future.
The past helps us learn, but happiness is at all times in the present, in the little things and in the small details of everyday life. Never forget: there’s no worse nostalgia than missing you.
