Nostalgia loves to strike your ailing heart in moments most unexpected.
Especially,
After you give yourself a chance to enjoy the fruits of life for the rest of your existence.
After you quit hammering your hopes and dreams into a nightmare manifested by alcoholic visions,
Or,
Head highs numbing your pain while your soul burns and fades away behind smoke…
“Hi!
Remember me?”
Nostalgia softly yells into your mind.
“I missed ya!”
As a smile rises from cheek to cheek with each lovely memory bubbling up to our luminous skies shimmering down beams of Joy.
Like,
Beating up Grunty from Banjo-Kazooie for the Nintendo 64.
Or,
Zooming past Bowser with Toad sitting behind in Mario Kart: Double Dash for a Gamecube I still adore!
All flooding by your pupils until your palms become so restless,
That you treat yourself.
For once!
After years of tricking your inner child to feel unworthy of such happiness…
