Why the past seems more enjoyable

As we age, we sometimes look back to the past. Mostly our mind travels back to the happy time. I had a few friends in the past. We were always together where ever we went. I would usually go back home almost midnight and my mom would open the door. I feel I had no burden then. This doesn't mean that I regret being in the present time. I am happy as I have two daughters and my wife. It is so sad when I think what would become of me without them. What about you? Does your mind sometimes flash back to the past? Who do you remember well that lived in the past?

We always remember the best parts of being a kid!! The heart of a kid is so free!! Kids know how to play and have fun!! Many times, I'm just a big kid!!

Yes the best parts are almost the same--when we were kids. Can't forget jumping into the river.

More than 80 Percent of people goes through nostalgia once a week. This says it all, we love to cherish old memories, and funniest part is we do recall sad parts as well. That's very human.

I think it is normal to reminisce the old days.

I have some good friends that I remember from my past. I will probably never see them again. I do not know where they re.

My mind’s always busy thinking hence this happens to me almost everyday. I miss those days where my worries are not that complicated. Being an adult is not easy.

The past is our trace of life but we cannot get back to the trace. It's my thought only.

@yanzalong yes of course no one can do that. Life is meant to be lived forward. We can bring forth the experiences and the lessons learned though.

It may be or it may be not enjoyable. But most enjoyable pasts are good to reminisce. I have written about my high school sweetheart 50 years ago. It's still in my mind on how I courted her. She's now my wife. We've been married for 42 years now.
