Hey I was wondering if you were still here on Substack! I think a little nostalgia is good. Everything in moderation, right? I've found lately that it's been sort of like a comfort zone to get into the nostalgic mindset. I'm finding that it's helping me take life a little less seriously now because I think I was taking things way too seriously before, especially as a kid going through the things I did growing up. I think it helps me as a teacher too because I can draw on those memories of falling in love with music for the first time when I hear or teach certain songs.
Excellent article, Sam, as usual. I too find myself longing for the good old days. Perhaps "longing" isn't the right word; I'm not wishing I was 10 years old again, but I do look back to those responsibility-free days of childhood and wish current life held such freedoms. Your article has helped me realize that I do have the ability to restructure my time to allow for more balance and fun. I'll use the "good old days" to rethink my current good old days. :)
Lovely, Sam, really lovely
Also! I just downloaded Obsidian. This looks wonderful!
