This year was tough for me and my family so it's safe to say I've had a rough year-- I know it gets better and that I can still continue to make it better too but-- I realize that in comparison to some of my friends that I had growing up, or even just some peers, occasionally looking back or doing 'Throwback Thursdays' is cool but there's a difference between looking back and just plain living in the past
I'm wondering if I'm borderline the latter, or if I've just fully crossed that fine line; not sure.
I mean, maybe it's normal for a sentimental person like me but jeez, lately I've looked up old songs, movies, and now even television shows that I listened to and watched growing up; maybe it just makes me feel like home isn't far away, only it's not really home anymore, it's just my childhood... I wonder how normal it is to look back. If I was a writer of some kind, maybe I would have the artistic excuse for looking back but that's not it- I've been doing it just because but I was thinking today that I know it's important to live in the present-- not just because now is all we have [now] but because I'd like to make the present something equally worth remembering and looking back on with a smile- the way I've been doing now with the late 90s-early 2000s.
Can anyone remotely relate or have any words for me to add here about this? I just find that it's nice to know that no one is ever [totally] alone in their feelings... just this site is an example of that-- that I'm not the only one that remembers So Weird too, so knowing that I'm not the only one that's been looking back could help too.

Also, it’s weird but I get slightly freaked out whenever I hear of some violent incident or accident… I don’t believe that I’ve met my romantic soulmate yet, or if they even exist for that matter, but if they do, even if I had briefly seen them, said soulmate is not in my life or my lover so I fear/wonder whenever I hear of some incident in the news if maybe my potential future loved one was harmed now…. I know that’s a little weird but if everyone thought and felt that way then maybe people would just treat each other with a bit more care and respect just by knowing that they are someone’s sweetheart/loved one.
