I really like nostalgia, and I like thinking of places that are not around anymore. I like to think of grocery stores and stores in the mall that have gone bankrupt or closed. Sometimes I can get deep into my thoughts when thinking of simpler times when I was in school and before I was sick. I think of the year 2005 a lot. That was about a year before I developed PMDD. I also think of being 104 pounds a lot and of this girl who wore a Nike sweatshirt all the time. Sometimes I try to reenact those times. I'll go to stores that are there now, or I'll try to find a similar Nike sweatshirt. Ive lost 67 pounds so far and I need to lose another 29 to be a normal weight. I asked my mom why I like nostalgia so much, and she said it's because I like remembering my childhood when I didn't have so many responsibilities. I guess that is true. But, I'm happy with my life. I have high functioning mental illness, and I work a good job and I'm just in general very pleased with how things have turned out. There is just something that makes me want to return to those places and times. Does anyone know why?
