The Good Old Days Aren't Just Memories

Hear me out: What if instead of the good ol days being our best past memories, they were several periods of time in the past & times that we haven’t experienced yet? I’ve been really happy lately. Like actually happy, having fun, feeling social, confident, optimistic & content. Like I’m entering the 3rd or 4th period of time in my life that I’ll look back on one day and remember how happy and free I felt. The difference is each time I get a little more wise, realistic & ready. Because hard times will come again. They always do, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to last forever. So here’s to my (new-ish) outlook on life: The good ol days are a thing of the past AND a thing of the future. And just because you’re feeling anywhere from meh to horrible, doesn’t mean those good ol days wont come again. The good ol days are now, for now 🫶🏼
