So many people say to not live in the past...however I disagree with this (not entirely but in part) Your past is a HUGE part of your present. It has made you who you are and influenced where you are going...Nostalgia can be a great thing, it reminds us that at heart we are all YOUNG and VIBRANT if even just for a moment...Now the tricky part is holding onto those things in your past that make you happy and bring warm fuzzies...(not that part of your past that is like a preying demon on your present - that past needs to be left behind!)
This image of Cyndi Lauper definitely can be a big shaper of the kind of girl I was....Cyndi Lauper influenced me greatly....I wanted to never be the same as anyone else...I didnt want to dress like everyone, or look like everyone I desperately wanted to be MY OWN person....this is what I believed she embodied --- Glorius independance (hee hee)...What is your most nostalgic moment....
My moment - if I close my eyes I can still almost be in that moment...I live by a park sitting on my porch waiting for people I knew to walk by or drive by with a friend or two already on my porch, listening to our "Boom box" blasting freestyle mixes (Cynthia - change on me) it is dark outside and you could smell the hint of rain in the air...yep that is my most tangible nostalgic moment...and every now and then I close my eyes and go there and remember that on the inside I am still as young as ever!
