Nostalgia
"Jer sve prolazi, ostaje samo u nama
U srcima, u umu, u fotoalbumu
Priča svaka slika, da ne zaboravin nikad
Nasmijana lica nekih starih prika
Nekih nema više, ostale su sjene
Mora bit da je s njima nesta i dio mene
Al vrate ga kiše i vitar s juga
Neka stara pisma, nostalgija i tuga"

The Feeling Of The Past
Oh, nostalgia. A feeling of melancholy. You're both happy and sad at the same time. It's a feeling that is hard to explain without actually feeling it.
There's truly no one in this world who hasn't felt like this before. Even on the worst nights, nostalgia helps you at least remember and cherish.
I, for example, vividly remember how happy I was in the summer of last year. Nights with friends, and with who I truly felt were my friends that felt as if they would never end.
Everything Becomes A Memory, However Weird That Sounds
Now, as I am starting high school, I'm beginning to realize that even school becomes a happy memory. In the moment I would never say that something so boring as a history lecture would make me look back on it. But once you think about it a bit, it becomes clear.
Everyone who was with you in that period, and the things you did, in the end, become something you look back upon because the most important thing was that you were happy with the people you love or have once loved.
And there's one thing in life that people tend to understand only later on in life - people come and go. But even if they turned out to be douchebags, you should still cherish happy memories with them.
There is just one life you get to live. So why not make as many memories and happy moments with the ones you love?
Should I Even Miss The Past?
Yes.
I wondered about this a lot.
Sometimes I even feel sad when remembering things from the past. But what I've realized is that however nostalgia makes you feel, it is a very important thing.
Someone might say that we are all living in the moment and that the future and the past don't matter. But I disagree. If we look back on the happy times we had, it will just make us happier.
And if we live happily in the moment, we will again make memories that we will cherish for years, maybe even decades.
