The world ended after the 70s and now im trying to pick up the pieces and pretend it is 2014. So yes i think back a lot. It sure gets me nowhere though.
I feel that way too, only for me it's the '90s to early '00s.
But as far as the general sense of nostalgia, I feel it too. Any time I pass a park I wish I could go back to the days when I could just run around and play there, and then come home and watch my favorite old shows or read books or play with toys or games again. I just felt like the world was so huge and full of promise and that there was so much time to figure it all out. I felt like I could just shut the rest of the world out and just live in my own little universe where everything was fun and safe and I was so free. Playtime was all the time and I went to sleep content knowing that tomorrow would bring another wonderful day.
Also, as I mentioned on an earlier post, as a child I had did not have to worry about things like how I was going to make money or if I would ever find someone to date. Ever since life started being about those two things, I haven't been very happy. They kind of hang over everything like a cloud, because I didn't pick the right interests I guess. Money is hard because I'm not into things like computers or construction or auto repair or engineering or business, and dating is hard because I'm not a macho man. It's hard for me to want to even get up in the morning, because the first thing I think is how I've blown it now, my ship has sailed in terms of money and dating and developing a talent and that there is no way to return to the happiness of youth.
I don't see how I can return to that state of happiness since every day takes me further away from it.
