Nostalgia on an S-curve!
My attempt at the "Flickr Friday" theme "Nostalgia".
I‘m not the kind of person feeling nostalgic often. To me nostalgia seems to be caused in part by our tendency to forget the unpleasant or even just plain and neutral feeling parts of situations, and only remembering the positive ones. I don‘t seem to have that ability, so situations and experiences 'feel' the same way 10, 20 or even 30 years later. That means, I don‘t really feel nostalgic for any big, important situation or even a whole span of time (like a vacation, part of our childhood etc.), because those are too nuanced.
The situations I have some nostalgic feelings for are therefore usually incredibly tiny and insignificant ones. I remember when I was around 7 years old and we were learning to write the alphabet, I wrote a lowercase letter 's' over and over to practice. Then suddenly I managed to write what appeared to be the most perfect letter 's' I could ever imagine. I felt very proud, probably even stood up to show my teacher, and afterwards tried to repeat creating that wonderful shape, again and again (without any luck)… I probably still do, to this day!
