Often times I find myself longing for feelings that I once felt, yearning for things that I once had, and feeling as though I need people that I once knew. I find myself deeply missing a life I once lived; Many lives I once lived. It isn't that I'm not happy at the time being --I am. I am completely content with the life that I currently live. You see, I don't only desire the good things about my past, I desire the bad things as well. The bad feelings, the hard times, just about anything that I have ever experienced. Actually, it's everything: I miss everything. Everything that I have ever loved, and everything I have ever lost. Everything that I have ever owned, everything that has ever made up any little part of "me."
It's a strange feeling, having such a strong desire for things that are now of little importance to me, and having no logical explanation of why I miss them. (Considering how genuinely content and sincerely happy I am with my life as it is now.) Which brings me to my questions of topic:
*Is it simply human nature to yearn for the way things once were? Despite whatever that is, or, was?
*And if so, is it because everything in our past made up what we once considered "normal?"
*And what, exactly, is "normal" anyway? -The way things were? The way things are? Or the way things will be?
Is it just me or did life just become a whole lot more complex?
