Past Is Great

Lately, there’s a sign has been keeping jumping out in front of my eyes. That the past is great!

First is in the movie Midnight in Paris, directed by Woody Allen, which I just finished a week ago. It tells a story of how a screen writer loves 20th century because his loving artists all living in it. Though he finally realized that he loves past because the present is imperfect.

Second is my YouTube keeps suggesting songs that got me reminiscence bump. Such songs that remind me when the time power cut is regular and the phone has not yet existed. I still remember the feel when I am wrapped in quilt and watch TV in the cold night… dizzy.

Third just happened now, I was gonna start watching Doraemon, and the title of the episode I’m getting at is ‘Past is Great’, seriously???

even two of them would tell me the present is better than past, I still miss past. Midnight in Paris said we love past because present unsatisfied. And ‘Past is Great’ shows us comparing of ancient and modern lives style. Both views are most people miss about past, either think their life sucks or just wanna experience life in past.

Well, I’m not both… I miss past is that it is fixed, it is unchangeable. No matter what we do now, past is past, it right there, waiting to be read. this feel just like when I watch shows or movies. I’d want to know what ending it will be, and release my imagination along with shows to get that result.

Same thing happens here. Few scenes I remember, or the music I think familiar, but I don’t know when or where I experienced it, I would start my imagination. Maybe I was doing something funny, maybe I was going to somewhere nice, maybe… maybe… then, I got here. The beauty part is, I always thought nice thing, and it always make me feel ease. That’s good enough for me.

I said there’s this sign… Actually, not really. Just some shit things happend recently that make me want to run away. The ‘sign’ just is what I want to see now, not that it really a sign.
