The good old days

Hi friends 🙂 Let’s first start by explaining nostalgia! So what is nostalgia? Feeling from the past is a desire for one-time memories when things seemed better, simpler, and more enjoyable.

Naturally, I’m feeling very nostalgic lately. Living in a new city for the first time and moving from home is quite challenging. The feeling of growing up and having more responsibilities, unlike my childhood, started making me reminisce about my life back then, unlocking deep childhood memories inside my head. I have discovered recently that the feeling of nostalgia can positively impact a person. For instance, it reduces my stress and boosts my self-esteem whenever I feel nostalgic. Songs like ‘Happy and You Know’ used to sing this in field trips on the bus; this is a core memory that I will never forget; it makes me feel how simple life back then was, as well as childhood toys. I used to have a favorite doll I would dress up and feed, and I carried it everywhere I went. Also, Tv shows on cartoon network channel I grew up with brothers, and we loved watching Ben 10 every morning before school. I also loved watching Dora, also gaming. I had a Wii game as well as a Nintendo 3DS my favorite childhood game; I played Mario kart, bowling on Wii sports, and crash bandicoot. Those games always give me nostalgia back then. All those items I started remembering make me feel what a great time that was, how time passed by fast, and when life was simple.
