How many of you can't silence your mind at night?

*You think and remember, you see photos you have saved and you get that feeling of nostalgia.... When the time comes when you become a spiral of thoughts and you feel yourself plummeting into the abyss. At times you do not know if it is nostalgia or perhaps the absurdity that have become your days where you do not see the exit, more thoughts come and you feel that you do not move forward that you have long been in the same place.

*I consider that we are all victims of this feeling one more than others at any time of our days, either when listening to a song, seeing pictures or thinking about what could have been and was not. Recently it has visited me a lot especially at night when I try to sleep and I can't fall asleep or when I am at work looking out the window. It is not a very pleasant feeling because in seconds it leads me to be sad and then to want to relive those moments.

The rae defines nostalgia as:

*Last night at the clinic working I started to take a look at my blog; I remembered moments where I was very active as well as photos and everything I was living at that time. I saw pictures of myself, friends and family that I had lost... it was very late in the morning and I couldn't help but feel worse.

Del recuerdo al olvido

Familia

Lo primero que pensamos es en los familiares que ya no se encuentran en este plano, seguido de los que ya no están en estas tierras esos que emigraron buscando mejores oportunidades. La vida es un ciclo un día estamos y al otro no, pero es difícil aceptar la ausencia del día a día mucho mas que que las fechas especiales. Es difícil recordar como podías estar haciendo nada con ellos y sentirte bien al estar solo viendo cuatro paredes.

Se extrañan los regaños, las pequeñas discusiones sin sentido esas tardes compartiendo meriendas simplemente el día a día. De pronto el chocolate no sabe igual sin esa picardia de tener a los tuyos cerca.

*Many times we get upset with our relatives and wish we were far away, the feeling of anger makes us say things that we don't even understand at the moment, many times we say it with so much force that it may happen and it is not as pleasant as we thought.

We read many times out there; we don't know what we have until we lose it and we know it but we humans are very stupid. *We don't know what we have until we lose it and we know it but we humans are very stupid.

Friends

*I have good friends, thank God, despite being far away I have always felt their support when I needed it.... But, that's what true friendship is all about, isn't it?

*I remember very simple moments with my friends, either sitting around a table laughing about meaningless things where I felt good and we didn't care about many things. To important moments where we supported each other?

*I don't have many friends, I don't like to be around a lot of people so the ones I have around me are really special to me.

Music

We all listen to a song and immediately we are transported to those moments.

• Nostalgic - Rauw Alejandro.

Regardless of whether the name of this post is the same as the song itself it does bring back a lot of memories. A year ago when it came out I was completely on a roller coaster with a VIP seat where my friends helped me a lot and this song brings back so many memories that even every time I hear it I go back to take a seat on that coaster. My friends would say: get over it hahaha

• Los Sabanales- Calixto Ochoa
  I'm not a fan of this kind of music, but every time I hear this song I immediately remember my grandmother and the stories she tells me about her youth. She is very old now and tells the same thing over and over again but it fills me with joy to hear those stories every time she wants to tell them. Time will pass and I will always remember her dancing to this song.

• Chatarritas in English
  My dad is a fan of all these songs, listening to them reminds me a lot of my childhood and the times we were traveling or in the car he always played these songs, nowadays he still likes them a lot and every time I listen to them I remember those little moments with my dad.

Places

Visiting places also fills me with nostalgia... The last time I went to Ciudad Bolivar where I studied my university career I was very nostalgic to see the streets where I walked under that bright sun juajaj, see the medical school where I spent most of my career and I could not help but feel the lump in my throat thinking of everything I went through to get my university degree.

My house, I haven't been to my hometown for over a year now because I'm always busy and working but seeing the pictures of my house makes me want to drop everything I'm doing and run out there, right now is what I want to do hahahah.

*After writing this post I have drained a little bit I don't feel that nostalgia is a bad feeling anymore, it makes us value the important things in life, the simple but real moments those where we don't care if we are well dressed or if we have branded clothes and shoes we only care about sharing and enjoying the people around us.
