Sometimes I miss the past so much. Memories of people and places and times I've loved can be brought back in an instant by some music, a smell or a thought and I feel a profound sadness that these things are gone for ever. There's people I still love deeply who I'll never be able to love again.
I hate this wallowing in the past. I mean my present is excellent and my future is shaping up to be equally so (touch wood) but sometimes I just cant help thinking Id give anything to go back to the way things were...fucking stupid I know but it happens sometimes.

Dwelling on the past takes the present away. No present - no new pleasant memories to be made.

each time i go back and relive the feelings i miss so dearly i realise how when your in those times, your not enjoying them in the same way you remeber them, they are still good feelings, but in those times, you were actually proabably thinking simualr to the way you are now, not constantly enjoying that moment, but acutally thinking about other things etc,its only when you really reflect on them you realise how much more you enjoyed that moment (or could be enjoying that moment), however, then you can realsie that can be done for now also, now is the moment you will reflect on "once again" in the future, this moment is as magical as the last so learn to enjoy the present. be happy that you had those times in the past, and that they are yours and always will be something you have throughouly enjoyed, so you can be content, that you are not looking for an old high, but creating new ones on an adventure path you have still to discover loads of fantastic new things.
