Wistful Gratitude

Embracing the Here and Now 

Ever find yourself missing those childhood spots that haven't been wiped off the map yet? Sharing those sweet memories and talking about the good old days is a sign that your childhood was full of awesome moments. You are a lucky person to have had a childhood worth reminiscing about. Missing childhood is a special thing that every parent hopes for their child. Those who are always nostalgic and spreading the word about their good times aren't psychologically wounded; they're actually celebrating the joy they experienced back in the day. But hold up, there's a silver lining in that cloud of nostalgia. Missing your childhood digs is like having a secret handshake with happiness.πŸ’

Picture this: the streets where you played until the streetlights flickered on, the best friends who were partners in crime, and the home where bedtime stories came to life. Now, these spots are like fragments of a time capsule, just accessible in your mind. It's a bit of a tear-jerker, I'll admit.

Here's the plot twist – missing those places? It's like wearing a badge of honor. It means your childhood was real, packed with genuine laughs and all-around good vibes. Not everyone gets to have that, you know? So, take a moment and give a virtual high-five to your younger self for living it up. However, crying and missing your child is not a solution. But you know what? Revisiting those memories in your mind. Close your eyes, let the nostalgia flood in, and suddenly, you're back on those familiar streets, hearing the echoes of laughter and feeling the warmth of home. It's like a mental spa day – seriously refreshing.

Okay, so the past is the past, right? Instead of drowning in what's gone, use those memories to spice up your present. Those childhood escapades shaped the awesome person you are today. Gratitude is the secret sauce that turns nostalgia into a heartwarming reminder of how far you've come. Moreover, it is pointless to miss the friends who are not by your side now. Every person we meet has a time in our life. They belong to the person you once were. Neither the friends nor the streets belong to you anymore because you have changed along with the environment. Everyone has a time in your life, including who you are. Nothing is endless. Do not forget that the only thing that will never change is change itself. Embrace change and be grateful if you have good memories that you miss now in your limited time.

So, the next time you catch yourself missing the spots where your childhood magic happened, don't frown too hard. It's not about what's gone; it's about celebrating what was. Nostalgia is like a cozy blanket of warm memories. Wrap yourself in it, appreciate the journey, and know that the best chapters are still being written. Cheers to chasing childhood shadows! 🌟

A Confession

       I heard that  the sense of belonging was discussed  a lot during this period, so my mask  was gradually falling away . My fellows started to realize me since I could not find enough strength to hide my bleeding. My wounds were bleeding  clearly  every time. I was laughingly denying it while making people watch this wound that I couldn't stop bleeding. I'm the happiest. Could you please shut up? I'm asking, can't we talk about being a little bit of everywhere and being completely nowhere? My dear friends, won't we say both death  farewells  and moving farewells again? Now  I  don't hesitate to say goodbye. I'm sorry, pure and delicate souls, to whom I bid farewell whenever I thought of them. I'm not in me. I wanted to love, but I  was not made  to love. I didn't become evil, I was made evil. Time became my prisoner , highways  became my home. I said goodbye to everyone , I  didn't solve the p...

The Human Paradox: Strength, Weakness, and the Undefined

More than an angel or a devil.    Man has always been created in pairs. He has two faces, seemingly more dangerous than a devil because the devil has only one face. That is why his life is spent always searching for his other half, be careful that our soul is drawn to whatever is missing (of course, this is a completely different topic). Man is complicated. He has an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other. Even if there is no devil or angel, this potential always exists. So much so that in many holy books, man has this potential, his sins are written on one side and his good deeds on the other. Can we know the limits of evil or good? Isn't it even more terrifying not to know this? What separates us from the devil or the angel is that we have a piece of both. The middle, that is, purgatory. Staying in purgatory is the greatest pain. Thus, man cannot define himself. The absence of clear definition fosters a profound sense of dislocation, as one struggles to find a p...

How does the human soul get ill-tempered?

    Not being able to take root makes a person angry. The answer to this question is quite simple. Being not understood also can make a person angry.  When  your all  vicissitudes with your agony are belittled by your  loved ones, humans can turn into an animal which has no control.  The people who enter our lives, especially at our turning points, should understand you if they  have an expectation  to be loved. Making extra explanations for the people who take root in your heart is a pointless effort for humans. And then, this struggle turns you into an impotent beast.  Even though talking is not  a  hard   exercise  for human action, explaining ourselves can consume our soul.  Just a glimpse should explain everything that burns you because it is not impossible for such a complex creature.  We are born to be loved,  to feel, to understand, and to  die.   Till  death, we should disco...
