Nostalgia trips

~KillianSeraphim Jul 28, 2012 Student General Artist

While these can be fun sometimes, there are some things that make them annoying:

The first is how old you feel. Yes, I remember playing Link to the Past on my cousin's SNES. Yes, I remember the Sega Genesis, and holding to the fact that Perfect Dark 64 was superior to Goldeneye. Yes, I remember the great television series of the 90's, and miss them dearly. I was an odd one that actually enjoyed high school, and my friends there, but DANG IT I FEEL LIKE AN OLD MAN!!! I'm still plowing through college, and already I've been around for four, going on five, presidents. I shouldn't be feeling this old.

The second, is the random nature of said nostalgia trips. What I mean is you have little control over what you remember, and some memories I would prefer to keep under the mat. I hate remembering embarrassing moments in my childhood that make me think, "Did I really do that?" It's even worse when these memories refuse to leave you alone for the rest of the day.

In conclusion: as nice as nostalgia trips can be, they have their downsides.

I get them at the strangest times. I just sit there when suddenly I think "Hey, remember that thing?"

I miss my friends from highschool, and I miss being a kid and playing with toys and not having responsibilities... but... I look forward to my future regardless

"I hate remembering embarrassing moments in my childhood that make me think, "Did I really do that?""

Haha. I get this too. I facepalm at some of the stuff I did when I was a teenager. I can't even comprehend the thought process of some of the stupid stuff that I did.

Well, I decided to go back to Neopets, and then I feel extremley old as it was going on about 'the 10th anniversary of Meridell and the Ixi pet' then I remember being there when they started the Meridell plot and brought out the pets.
I hate being made to feel old, I'm only 20 D:

Bawww, why'd you have to bring Neopets and Meridell up? >< I remember that, too, and now I feel old. I can't believe it's even...a thing, still anymore. I thought Meridell was just going to be another addition to the map with the Ixi being just another pet. But apparently, they're both a big deal if their anniversaries are being celebrated.

Yeah, I'm suprised how the site is still going pretty strong. It has changed a lot though, I don't like how they've added in 'premimum content' as I remember that being one of the things that they said they'd never do. But then, they did get brought out by Viacom. :/ The first time I left wasn't long after that. Oh and there's I think at least five new pets now and three or so new lands that got added in.

Nostalgia makes me feel all tingly and then it makes me sad.

Acceptance brings peace in something like that, no? Especially with your second point there, I would have thought.
