I’ve always liked this quote.  It’s funny how we tend to romanticize the past; memories are always richer and more profound than the moment we are living in.  Why do you think that is?  Maybe we need time to process things before they have that weight and meaning?  I feel like I’m always reminding myself to stay present — but no matter how much I am enjoying whatever I’m currently engaged in, it’s always more significant when I’m looking back on it days, weeks or years later.  An odd phenomenon, isn’t it?

What are your thoughts on this…do you feel this way?

I can relate to this. I also can understand how some people romanticize high school. We were young, thin, and attractive, but when were actually living it, it could have been hell on earth. It’s definitely a lesson in being present and also being realistic about what we’ve already been through.

I just stumbled across your blog and I’m officially addicted. Your graphics are so inspiring! I also completely agree with this post. Everything seems so much sweeter in time, as if your memory holds strong the the best moments and blurs through the rest.
