are any of you stuck in the past?

Nah, not really. There are some things I think about occasionally that I seem to have very little control over, like when my PTSD is triggered from being physically, mentally, and emotionally abused as a little guy, or when my pet died but I think about the good times with my pet and that makes it better. With the rest I make sure to toughen up about and move on quickly as possible. I force myself to get over it. I don't believe in living in the past sadness, not only do I feel bad but I make other people around me feel bad by being that way. Most people don't want to be around someone like that who's always depressed and depressing.

Almost. My memory is so sharp that I can actually start re-living events if I start thinking about them or their time.

Sincerely,

I also live in a time warp. I like a lot of the things in the music, fashion and TV world that took place between 1964 and 1984. I was also born in 1974. I'm also a very happy person as well. I also describe those years as the Kinks Mick Avory Era. I don't wish to live the perfect life by forcing myself to live in the present, while at the same time enjoying the things of the present. To me, that would be going against the grain. It's better for me to go with the flow within me, than it is to pretend to like this time in history. I feel even less inclined to live in the present after watching celebrity news on Swagbucks for the past 6 months. Some of those clips are the shortest.

I have an incredible attraction for the 1964/65 New York World's Fair. Although I was only born in 1964 and was never at the fair, I have an incredible homesickness for it. I feel like I had some close connection to it and am deeply saddened by its passing. Whenever I see pictures of the deteriorating remains of the New York Pavilion and towers, I feel deep sadness.

Stuck in the past? I never left the past. All of my good memories are from years ago, when I was in elementary school.
