whenever i look back at college videos, or things from my childhood, school, stuff like that, it always makes me feel sick, like i want to throw up. everything just feels like shit when i try to reminisce. why is this?
i’m a very material person, i keep (hoard) absolutely everything and i have a memory box full to the brim with photos, tickets and trinkets and such that i like to keep, but i hate looking at it all. i only ever open it to add to it.

I know what you mean and I think it’s because you’re mistaking it for something that’s supposed to make you happy. Nostalgia is inherently a sad feeling. But unlike sad feelings, nostalgia is disguised as a happy feeling, so it sneaks up on you and punches you when you aren’t expecting it. In my experience, anyway
