@sean_ae come to think of it, nostalgia does feel a bit loaded, or perhaps shallow. it's the only word i really knew to describe the feeling, hah.
but yeah, i do get it. i think the idea of rediscovering the past, and how it felt, is a very precious thing both personally and creatively. the world moves quick, and there are so many past selves waiting for their shoes to be filled again, even if just for a brief moment.
