When the past is the past
Humanity has entered an era of rapid change. It goes without saying that technology and communication have evolved, and the neighbourhoods around us are changing almost daily, becoming new and bustling.
Is nostalgia, as a sentiment, cherished in anyone's heart? In an increasingly bustling modern life, there may be no trace of it left. So, allow me, an anachronistic nostalgic person, to be a little nostalgic for a while. A few years ago, in my teens, I was a teenager, longing for the future, distant and confused, and a few years later, having grown older, I look back and see that I have wasted time, to say the least. The only visible "gain" is the difficulty of doing things again and again, from nothing to something, from light to heavy. I'm afraid that only someone as clumsy as me would know the hardest. Nowadays, I am often the "finder of truth". I see a car and think, "Small cars go fast, big cars go slow. When I went to the hospital at night to get a hangnail, I saw for the first time the change between night and day and thought, "It will be light even if I don't sleep.
Recently, I have noticed that when I am waiting, time passes so slowly, five minutes is a long time; when I am happy, time flies, a few hours pass in a flash, I often lament that time passes too quickly, not enough, my friend said: "Do you want time to pass slowly? You get anxious, you wait anxiously for an hour to pass, and it becomes long and long, and it never passes. If you think time is passing too slowly, you don't hurry, it passes in a second." In my friend's childish and confused logic, time is like a rubber band that can be stretched and shortened at will. For me, there was just the helplessness of time passing easily. However, all future time, a year, a day, an hour, a minute, it is all real. Once it is in the past, decades, a lifetime, it is all in the blink of an eye.
The world changes every day. Nostalgia is the desire to hold on to something eternal, yet change is the only constant that lasts forever.
