I'm writing my blog post as I'm on my way to Great Wolf Lodge, arguably my favorite childhood getaway spot. I have only positive memories and feelings associated with this place. I haven't been here in years, but even just the thought of pulling up the long driveway makes me feel almost melancholy. I long to feel the same levels of excitement I felt at age 6.
Hearing any song from “Folie à Deux” or “Infinity on High” by Fall Out Boy immediately brings me back to elementary school. These albums were some of my first tastes of music that I really loved.
I hold childhood memories so close to my sentimental heart. Does anyone ever know when it’s "the good old days?" I think that’s part of why I am so wistful. It’s at times impossible to tell when an experience is going to be something you look back on and long for, especially when you’re a child.
Even right now, I can think of memories from just a year or two ago that I know will give me this same feeling of nostalgia in the future. It makes me wonder what place or journey I am going to long to relieve in a few years.
I’m feeling nostalgic just thinking about the memories I'm making as a teen, good or bad. I know I'm going to reminisce on them. I feel like being 16 is a great age to be, despite the struggles being a teen comes with. I want to enjoy the “now” as much as possible before it becomes the past.
Would you consider yourself a sentimental person?
I'm definitely very sentimental as well, but you definitely already knew this. Any little thing that I see, smell, or hear can remind me of something so specific that I can't help going back in time to what that moment was. I even wrote my blog post this week about it!
