RE: [aNomad´s thoughts] Is Nostalgia denial of the painful present?
Those days where i miss that someone i can't be with are my most nostalgic moments but as you said:
The past is always going to look better, to feel happier. But that´s only because we tend to idealize those situations, the people, the places, the experiences.
But the now is the only chance we got, not even the future because we idealize it too and it also looks better than it really will be... i got the believe that life it's just what it is and we might not really be sure of what will totally makes us happy.
Exactly, has it ever happened to you that you put too much expectations of a place you are going or a person you are about to meet, and then when it happens you get disappointed because it wasn´t what you expected? It´s the same here, you are totally right!
Totally, we even imagine how we're going to feel, but any of that really happens haha. (not always)
