When you reminisce aren't the times that someone's forcing you to reminisce. You reminisce other times in your life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I like to reminisce with people I don't know.
One must always maintain one's connection to the past and yet ceaselessly pull away from it.
Reminiscence and self-parody are part of remaining true to oneself.
Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
Now I am in my eighties, and I have known the joys and sorrows of a full life. Age, however, has its privileges. One is to reminisce, and another is to reminisce selectively.
You're not just this person who's from your own specific experiences, but the collective experience of what makes you who you are because of time.
We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they're called memories. Some take us forward, they're called dreams.
I did not want to later look back in my life and say, 'Why would you not make times change?'
It is sadder to find the past again and find it inadequate to the present than it is to have it elude you and remain forever a harmonious conception of memory.
You've got to always go back in time if you want to move forward.
