Nostalgia isn't only a hell of a drug, but it's a hell of an addiction too. Chasing times when you last felt good or when you felt things were right. Getting in touch with old flames that you forgot that there were reasons you moved on from, until you read the painful endings as to why those connections died.

Having those rose-tinted shades aren't always good for you.

It is even a parenting technique using the illusion of choice on children to force a decision that was never a choice to begin with.

I raised my children to be unafraid to question or challenge authority. And I fucking regret it. I hope they're happy I did in ten years but it sucks right now.
