Live in the past, is mine. I will listen to things over and over because some songs or even podcast episodes, rewind me back to times where I felt comfortable in. I do sometimes poke my head out to see where things are currently in the present, but nothing around really makes me gravitate to anything current-day. But, then I just go back to my hole in living in the past.
People used to tell old people to get over it about them remembering things as they were all of the time. I’m understanding why they do that. Sometimes the present really truly sucks.
This reminded me of a moment last year when I volunteered to help clean up a historical cemetery. I get there and not only was I the only guy, but all the girls were either high schoolers or like first year college kids all wearing booty shorts. My brain is making me think I look like a creep being a 30 year old surrounded by young girls in revealing clothing and also making me think “why are you doing yard work in stuff that barely protects your legs??? Who told ya’ll this was ok!!!”
