Is reminiscing the past bad?

We all have good memories from the past - our childhood to teenage years to adulthood. Do you guys reminisce? People come and go, some of those people might have died or you had to let go… See how busy we are in our own lives that we are preoccupied and lost touch with old friends because the priorities changes based on life situation. I want to re-live some of the memories…

Do you ever miss your past? the good times… Did you live those memories to the fullest?

I miss my teenage years.

Re: Is reminiscing the past bad?

I think everyone misses some part of their past. Personally, I don't think there is anything wrong in reminiscing as long as you don't become stuck on on the past to the point where it affects the present.

Re: Is reminiscing the past bad?

Thank you for the question. I often wonder about the same thing.. I do think about old times. Even when they were not so pleasant for me. I find them much more simple. Life in childhood and teenage is so clear and simple. The little worries that seem so big now seem like halwa to me.. Sometimes I wonder things I'd do different if I'd go back.. And if I had done em differently would I still be here? Or would life be different?

Its good to remember past.. But learn from it. Living in past brings nothing except grievance. Don't make standards. Each time comes with it own set of things. And it will all pass. Nothing stays.

Re: Is reminiscing the past bad?

Yes, you think about the past and learn... What is the point of thinking about things that can't be changed?

Re: Is reminiscing the past bad?

I don't think we can find reason In everything. Sometimes we just do things because.. It's just natural.

Often on a specific date you think of something that happened several years back. Things trigger memories.

I made a note in my Mobile 6 years back when I was sitting with my boyfriend wondering if I'd be with him a year later..

It said 'if I'm with you' I've changed 4 mobiles and I always transfer the dates and always look at the date and smile.

Re: Is reminiscing the past bad?

So are you still with your boyfriend?.... We couldn't beat the 4 years mark... If I look back, I think it was dumb of me to fall for him and I blame the stupid bollywood songs and lies lies lies!
