Do you ever do things that make you nostalgic? What do you think of nostalgia?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I saw the commercial for the 3ds version of the N64 game Zelda Ocarnia of Time and it brought me back to my childhood. I have been looking up the music to it and it gives me a comforting feeling. Occationally some people in high school (i'm a senior) play pokemon on their old gameboys, which I think they do because it brings them that comfort, happiness, and security of childhood. I could spend like $250 and buy it, but do you think it is worth it or is the past something I shouldn't dwell on? What I'm trying to say is childhood nostalgia healthy because it comforts you when you are feeling stressed or insecure? Is it worth it? I don't really have anything that brings me back as well and powerfully.</p>

<p>And do you do anything that makes you nostalgic? Do you find it healthy or unhealthy?</p>

<p>I never really thought about nostalgia untill I saw that commercial. </p>

<p>What do you think.</p>

<p>Today while cleaning I ran into cassette tapes with a bunch of old alt. rock songs mostly. So I decided to go through and listen + add some old songs to my current playlist.</p>

<p>However, now I ran into a cassette with middle school band concert on it lol. Much nostalgia.</p>

<p>I played numerous games with my dad when I was younger, including Zelda. I just looked up music on youtube and can say that my eyes teared up a little bit. Nostalgia is definitely an interesting concept and hard to fully grasp. There’s nothing wrong or unhealthy about it though. It’s just another part of what makes us human.</p>

<p>I have become rather bored with reality itself lately, So I have made up my own plans for spicing up my life</p>

<p>I call them the 3 rules of Anti-Insanity</p>

<ol>
<li>Never do something that endangers somebody else (Punching a random person in the face)</li>
<li>Keep it clean (No making out with dead corpses)
3.Never do anything insane (Steal a car)</li>
</ol>

<p>I seem to only get nostalgic about video games.</p>

<p>Some of the games I played alone along time ago that I’ve revisited recently: Super Mario 64, Paper Mario 64, Animal Crossing</p>
