Has anyone had this feeling before, or is it just me?

It's hard to explain, maybe it's not called a feeling but maybe something else. This most happens when I view old movies, look photos and many other things.
Well it's like you want to return to the past. I was checking some pics when I was younger at my other house (95-96), and how can I say it, this ''great ol days'' come into my mind. When I check old movies, I say to myself if only I was this age at that time. Then I sense something in me..I know it's very hard to explain..Another time I was going to a friends house when I passed by my old house and I said to myself..''Once I lived in there''. Yesterday, me and my best friend whom I know since 95, decided to go visit our elementary school. See if anything changed, just to visit it. And when me and my friend were younger, somewhere in that school (in the grass), we did a big hole..and that hole is still there after all these years. Great old days

You're not the only one,it sometimes happens to me,even if i'm not very old.Looking back at the past,or just seeing old picture i feel as if i'd like to be in that situstion now,again. isn't it strange??

well i don't want to return to the past. i want to bring what was good about it, into the future. that's what made it good then.

people are always walking backwards, looking toward the past, because they think that's easier, because they can see what was good without having to live all the rest of it. but i can guarantee, having lived there, however good or bad anything is, all the rest of diversity is there too somewhere.

but anyway the one thing that made those days so special and wonderful, is that at least a few of us, were looking, dreaming, imagineering and artecnicizing forward, into a future, a future we were choosing, untill so many of us got distracted from doing so. got talked into beleiving what we were doing couldn't be done. but the point is we WERE doing it, and togather we still can.

Some memories of the past can hold the greatest treasure....... happiness
Some other memories of the past can bring back the worst nightmares....... sadness

For me its the little town I grew up in for the first 21 years of my life...to this day that place is still my home..even though Ive only been back twice in 25 years.

well for me, my home was the whole regeon, and the town itself is only 30 miles up the road from where i live now. i'd rather be further up in the hills then where i am. not because it was where i was but because that elevation is what my body is more aclimatised to.

there wasn't so much about the town. everything people build it seems like someone else tears down to build something else every 15 - 20 years but things like the shape of the hills and riviers rocks weighing more then a few tons have a tendency to stay pretty much where nature and whatever nontangable forces put them. actualy there's a lot that doesn't get torn down and replaced in a little town like that because not everything any ever gets arround to. sometimes things just rot and fall down right where and how they were first build 50 - 100 or even more years earlier. there's quite a bit of that there too. occasionaly someone will stick some kind of a plaque on it or something but not often either.

Yeah I get that feeling kinda alot. Earlier in the summer me and some friends would ride our bikes at like 4AM every other day. I have to go next to my elemtary shcool to get to my friends. I like to look in the windows and look at how the classes have changed over the years. They haven't really it doesnt seem. I'm not old either. I downloaded a bunch of tv series from Nickelodeon I used to watch when I was little. Kenan and Kel, Ahh Real Monsters, Doug, Rockos Modern Life. The good stuff.

It's called nostalgia.
