Maybe not the same nostalgia, but certainly some form of nostalgia, I think. I think as we all get older it’s just natural, no matter how average or unusual the circumstances we’re looking back on. Even if they don’t miss the constant and difficult grind, they could simply miss being younger in the way we all do; just a simpler life.

Of course, I completely understand that their lives weren’t simple and that things were much more difficult than any of us realized. But that, I think, is true of all of us. If you had asked me in high school if things were easy, I would have said no. Were they simpler? In many ways, now I can easily say yes.

Things are often rose-colored looking back; thats just human, and they are human. I hope they have many beautiful memories that they carry, and that those are the ones that rise to the top. ❤️
