Isn’t that a quote from The Doctor? That “nostalgia” can be defined as, “the pain of memory.” Or like Adam Duritz once sang, “the price of a memory is the memory of the sorrow it brings.”
I spent much of my life celebrating my experiences and cherishing the people with whom those moments were shared, to the point of trying to keep in touch with people long after they had any interest in keeping touch with me. But eventually I realized that it was all just wasted emotion, and I’d do better by letting go of them and focusing instead on the people who give as much as they take from me.
I still have a vivid memory, and I can reflect on and love the significant moments that shaped me even if the people I shared them with are long gone. It’s not always easy to reflect without a tinge of sadness though.
