Nostalgic Reminiscence

The painful aspect of an otherwise bittersweet emotion.

 Sometimes I can still feel Nostalgia’s iron grip tightening mercilessly around my throat. The beautiful memories which lure me into a sense of hypnosis leave me gasping for air yet begging for more. It’s quite a dangerous and torturous feeling to be trapped by your past. Nothing is ever as good as you remember it and yet, I will continue to invest my life in this lie.
