Nostalgic Sunday

It's Sunday. I feel a little tired from last night. I saw a show where there were a lot of old friends and/or old lovers in attendance. It was surprisingly ok. Then this morning, I was leafing through the eye magazine or maybe I was reading tweets or maybe a post on facebook...but something made me go to my CD collection to see what I got. I grabbed one by this band called Revolver — an English 'shoegazer' band; the genre I primary listened to back in the day — popped open the case, turned on my receiver and CD player and slid it in. I pressed play and listened to it from start to finish. It reminded me of my 20's, and how lost I was then. How much agony I was in over some lost love, or some insecurity I suffered from. But still, then, I was surprisingly ok — that was just normal life. And I was happy. And now, 15 some odd years later, when I know what actually being happy and confident is, I can't help taking a little trip back in time now and again, just to remind myself.
