#on nostalgia

[llovelymoonn]

do you have or could you make a webweave about nostalgia? specifically of the yearning and grieving variety. it's killing me that all of it is gone forever, that all that remains is an echo, and that it will only keep fading. big yikes.

I WILL NEVER GET OVER THE LOSS OF YOU

[akindplace]

the fact that life keeps going when you’re going through something unbearable feels so terribly unfair. it feels like the world won’t stop moving so fast when all you wanted was for it to stop until you catch your breath, but that’s just not possible.

there is infinite sadness and grief in loss and a memory might be enough to bring your mind back through years, but not being able to physically go back is sickening.

and i am still grieving all that i lost, and sometimes i am so exhausted i feel the need to be quiet, and i wish the whole world could go slower. but it’s a good thing that life goes on. i got to go on. it took a lot of effort to move on, but i am here, alive. i am here! i don’t think i ever truly believed i would get here. some things don’t hurt as much anymore. the world kept moving and it forced me to move with it. it forced me to face a lot of what caused me so much pain. the grief will always be here, but so will be this proud feeling of having survived, the feeling of happiness, joy, laughter, and relief.

time doesn’t heal all things. but it brings news types of joy too.

Hello! If you'd like, can you please do a web weave about being scared of the pain and nostalgia that comes with a phase of your life ending and a new one beginning?

I suppose all you can really do is look forward.

Sorry for using Up the Wolves in another one of my webs. It will... probably happen again.

i don't know if this might be too specific, but could you do a webweaving on missing people who hurt you?

A brief study on love & nostalgia.

[voicedwords]

long overdue ode, Maggie Munday Odom

[diaryofsheets]

For friends who stayed, who —

"Text me when you reach home safe",

"Help me choose the pictures, babe",

"Time zones shifted but bond stays the same",

"You haven't texted the whole day I hope everything's okay",

"Do you know you're my soulmate?",

"Busy with life, but I think of you everyday",

"Got the new ones who became safe space",

We all have changed but I hope we stay the same

this is webweaving made out of only two songs. i adore these songs. i have always wanted to do something with these because they are so similar on their message...

anyway. (youtube links)

savatage - a little too far

mary hopkin - those were the days
