Those were the days, or were they?

What makes you feel nostalgic?

A runny egg with toasted soldiers

Cute matching hats embroidered with “His” and “Hers”

Sledding through snow on a tin tray

Going to restaurants and not having to pay

Living the life free of worry

Never being told you have to hurry.

For what was I being trained to do

And everyday learning something new

Was to do things better than anyone else

To be ahead made so much sense

Except when I was left behind

And all I could do was remind

That in the past I had had a life

That was when you were my wife.

The End or maybe The Beginning.💘

Nostalgia is bad for you.

What makes you feel nostalgic?

Nothing,but nothing makes me Nostalgic.Wistfully looking at a period in the past and imagining it was so much better than now is entirely futile if not misleading.

Perhaps recently,you have had the same experience as us here in the UK.

We have had Politicians playing on our emotions,harkening back to Empire and wanting “to give us back control”. Pure Nostalgia and for what? A Period of Time when the majority of people were ill fed, abused,and dragged into World Wars that did so much damage that we are still trying to recover today.

Hey,Ho, Nostalgia I laugh in your fat bloated face.Give me historical facts and data any day.Give me people who can talk to each other in many languages and understand common goals and the need to work together.

In other words, and also in other worlds, I can be nostalgic about a future that will be better,not a past that wasn’t.
