I get them now and then when I listen to a song or are reminded of a place by something. I love them, I hate them, they're great, no matter what memory, sometimes they're stupid. Post some of your nostalgic memories. One of mine is last winter, when I went to Russia for two weeks [I usually go in the summer] and it was just soo great.

Yeah, sometimes I get those feelings. Sometimes you see something or think of something that reminds you of the good old days, and you start daydreaming about the carefree days of long ago.
I still remember when I was a wee little lad, how I used to love going to ShowBiz Pizza and just play and talk with my friends. I was about 6 or 7 - those were the most fun days of my life.
And whenever I hear the song that goes "I've seen better days...i've been the star..." it makes me nostalgic. The reason is that 10 years ago I lived in Egypt for 2 years. Then when we moved back to the US I was listening to the music on the airplane, and I listened to that song for the first time. So now when I hear it it makes me nostalgic.
Yeah, sometimes it's nice to just look at old pictures or remember the nice memories from simpler and more carefree days. Thanks for reminding me of some of those days.

Wow, do you have ESP or what? Just tonight I was looking at a website about a place I used to hike back "home", began crying because I missed it so much.
This place is so wonderful. I would hike for 45 min. to sometimes 2 hours. It literally saved me during a terrible time in my life years ago and I will always have a special place for it in my heart and memory. I just wish I could've stayed there so I could have continued hiking there, it was the best.
I wrote a poem about this place a few years back and when I visited it again, I placed the poem on the bulletin board in the park so others could see it (and hopefully enjoy what I wrote from the heart).
I would give just about anything to be hiking there now.

Yes, I am having them alot these days, As i grow older, I may listen to a song on the Radio or see a picture of when i was young, and think how back then Life was so so simple, carefree, happy, days went on forever. But now i try to find at least sometime for quiet reflection at the end of a hectic,noisy, confusing, day. I remember when i was young and summer days were days i played till the sun set, eatting ice cream, swimming, hangingout with friends, pure freedom. Without thinking about Bills, jobs, worries. But each day we grow and learn more about Ourselves and others. Min by Min, by greatful to LIFE!

Isn't it really amazing how your memory can be triggered by something as simple as listening to a song, or smelling a certain smell? The scent of my ex's cologne always makes me nostalgic of my early teen years - and I'm in my twenties now, so it's been a good while, yet that scent never fails to do it!

There's not room here to write my 'nostalgic memories' ... but I do have them, and like you I love them, I hate them, and they're great. Sometimes when my husband is at work, I'll just sit and 'think' those memories, and I'll feel better and more energetic ... especially the really good memories.

mine is bad. i was sitting on the back of my car talking with my girlfriends. one is dateing my ex. and we've been on shakey ground because of him. i insist to not think about him now and live my life without him because it's better. then he pops into my head. i remember the time he went to my youth group with me and i walked outside to breathe for a minute because everyone was stareing at us with unapproveing eyes( we weren't even holding hands around them.) he sat outside in the dark with me while i sat on the back of my car talking. it just popped into my head when i didn't need it.
