RE: [aNomad´s thoughts] Is Nostalgia denial of the painful present?
But hey, nostalgia is like an old girlfriend. We will always remember the good stuff but, the moment you get back with together, you realize why you broke up with her.
This says it all. There are so much incidents in my past that I wish I could go back to but what I miss the most is the bond and friendship I shared with my boys from my hood growing up.
We would play football, draw on the beach sand that someone had kindly poured on our front yard and forgotten, we would build castles, climb trees, gorge ourselves with fruits, then we would get assistance whipped by our parents for coming in late. 😂
It was our daily routine after school and I cherished those moments. We are all far apart now; some married, some busy with work and some just living far away. It's kind of sad, you know.
Ahh the old days when we used to spend evenings with the gang, of course I had some of those, I can see what you mean. Did you guys also used to fight about who had to be the goalkeeper? In Mexico no one wants to be it, everyone wants to score goals haha.
I used to get the same, no cellphones back then so your mom didnt know where you were, if were late you would get punished or whipped haha.
Yeah, life makes us take different paths, unfortunately we have to cherish those moments because they will never come back...
😂 that's so true; no one wanted to be the goalkeeper. I was lucky though, I have short arms. 😂
Your ma used whip you too 😂 the world is sure the same at times. Most times, the sound of my dad's car entering the street ended my game. "Wisdom is profitable to direct ."
Yeah they will never come back. I don't even chat or call them much, my gang I mean. It's just sad and the same time good too. We are grown men with wives, kids, bills, jobs, 😂 but we will definitely never forget.
This post has brought me some really good memories. Thanks man @anomadsoul
