Nostalgia came to visit in the shape of an unexpected smile a few nights ago. As I reconstructed moments lived in what feels like an old past, nostalgia invaded all my thoughts and my heart. Mellow sadness is a frequent feeling coming to me as I close cycles and get deeper into my desires and my present. I always seem to take a step with excitement and look back to be thankful and give the proper farewell to what life has been.
The way in which I felt this warm smile visiting my memories recently though was something I hadn’t experienced yet. Found myself driving around my old neighborhood with a huge smile on my face, alone in my car, late at night and feeling actually a bit sad. Strange, but this moment of nostalgia brought a sense of tranquility to my life that I will not forget.
Every step, every mistake, every moment makes sense when we connect the dots, when the path promises more ahead because we don’t stop. All these mental images, all the nostalgic sadness and all the memories are enriching these spontaneous smiles that cannot be contained. Not as long as I am alive and able to feel the world around me.
