Reflections on Nostalgia: Cherishing the Past and Embracing the Present I miss how things were. Not everything, but certain friendships, relationships, and moments. It’s the memories that linger and tug at my heartstrings. I find myself yearning for those times, wishing I had cherished them more and been more appreciative.  Looking back, I realize that I often wasn't fully present in the moment. I was so caught up in the rush of life that I didn't take the time to soak in the beauty of those fleeting experiences.

The present should be a time of happiness, filled with activities like art. This busyness has dist...
