Nostalgia

Memories are all we have to be able to observe our personal pasts, and the feelings those memories bring can be quite powerful. Each person has their own past. Each person has their own things that make them feel nostalgia. Personally, I didn't have much of a childhood, but even I have my own personal nostalgias. One video game in particular causes great nostalgia within me as I spent the great majority of my time playing it. I wonder what makes you feel nostalgic. What is nostalgia? Obviously it is the emotion felt when a particular object or art form brings a pleasant memory alongside it, but what purpose does it serve? Is it meant to bring back information long forgotten from the breaches of our mind? Is it meant to reactivate old neurons to keep them active? I truly have no idea. There are many things that I don't know. I am an ordinary person after all. None of us know everything there is to know. It is absolutely certain that you know something that I don't. It is also certain that I know something that you don't. Perhaps one day you will look on these posts with nostalgia. It is certain that I will. But for now, here is something to consider.

There are over 400 phobias recognized by psychologists.

Sincerely, Liktomph
