Venting Does anyone chronically think about the past?

[underairpressure]

Even though there was never a point in my life where I was truly safe or happy, I still long for the past. I think that's in part because, at least back then, I still had some hope that I might someday get better. Maybe someday I could be "normal", or at least at peace and happy. I miss being that naive.

That's not all of it of course. I'm a very nostalgic person and struggle deeply with change. I hate the passage of time.
