Wow, I thought I was the only one who suffered from nostalgia!

I especially could relate to the poster who said that looking at old photos was like looking at someone else's life...how true!

I get these touches of melancholia about once a month...maybe it's the male version of PMS?

I often look at old pictures and try to figure out what the people in it where thinking at that exact moment in time. Were they happy? sad? Preoccupied? Or were they also nostalgic and melancholy?

I like what the budhha said: Each moment contains the seeds of it's own change...

While I can't go back to the past, or forward to the future...I also have to realize that the present is just an illusion too, also unreachable. Once the moment passes, it's already gone forever!

Very sad and very frustrating...and it's probably why God invented mixed tropical themed drinks and colorful poly-pop shirts!

To enjoy life, however short and fleeting!
