We all say 'Gosh, I'd love to live in the 60's.' or 'Life was so easy in 1992.' or something along those lines when we get all nostalgic. But what's so wrong with enjoying right now? The breath passing over our lips, the grass beneath our feet. Is it so wrong to eat until we burst instead of looking at an old photo of ourselves and saying 'Oh, I was so skinny back then. I wish I had my legs!' You do, stupid so use them. Walk on them, dance on them, jump and skip on them, be a child in adulthood or teenage-hood or whatever-hood if you want.
Don't look back on happy times and pine for them. Make today happy and tomorrow ecstatic and treasure memories, don't relive them. Life is so amazing and if we keep living it in yesterday soon there'll be no life left. So make good use of your tomorrow and live it in 2012 not 1912. And please, whatever you do, don't bring back mullets.
