“The good days”, “the best years of your life”, who else is tired of nostalgia?  How many high school movies of “our last adventure” have been made, how many shows (especially any anime fans out there) about “running into the spring of youth”, “your time is only now” need to be told? I too have my moments with nostalgia, it’s always comforting to go back to the easy and tap into the warm bank of familiarity, but it can get to a point where you’re so obsessed and stuck within the past, you can’t go forward.  But AK is this a bad thing?  Everything was so much better then.  Sometimes I let these thoughts get to me too, it can be hard not to in today’s world.  But then I think, well I am here.  And what am I going to do about it?  Live in misery or try?

You can value the past while recognizing that it’s over.  The past shapes and molds you, but doesn’t have to be everything that you are, the entire crux of your being.  Learning from your past self and using that knowledge to apply to who you are now and how you move in the present day is a better way to honor yourself.  I’ve also learned that striving and obtaining the future you want is the best way to heal your inner child.  It might sound counterintuitive, (who wants to work more? not me), but more than material things, nurturing your inner child is about security too.  It’s about emotionally and spiritually doing for yourself what you wanted/needed most at that time.  Regressing back into a child is not the healthiest or best way to deal with that, instead growing or being someone you would be proud of will fill that “void” better.  

How many days, months, years do you want to waste thinking your best ages have passed?  Why can’t your best years be where you’re working towards your dream, and having fun doing so, or the years where you finally settled into your skin, that age where you finally found that mental peace?  You peak yourself faster prematurely deciding that you’ve peaked.   When people say negative things about themselves, they reinforce those ideals on themselves inevitably speaking those words into existence.  Although the excitement and passion that comes with youth is a continuous choice you have to make as an adult, don’t do a disservice to your inner child by cutting yourself off from getting older and resenting something you can’t get back.   Life isn’t all about accomplishments and big moments, it’s also about how it was to get there, the grit and journey, the you that showed up for yourself in those dark and small moments, the calm, chaotic, boring and fun, and using it all to age with grace.  It’s easy to cave under the weight of responsibility, but balance has to be learned. You’ll be a lot less miserable floating with the current than always fighting against it. Being at your highest wisdom, your highest learned experience, your highest insight is really where you should consider yourself at your peak, and that’s right now.
