I have been feeling rather melancholy as of late, and abnormally so. It has been many years since I was myself a YF, but for some reason I have been reminiscing. What is the cure for this sort of melancholy? What chases away the feeling that I must now be and behave as a man, when at heart I feel still rather boyish? My childhood was not good, I certainly don't wish to relieve it, but I miss something about those years which I can't seem to put into words. It isn't the "innocence" that I miss, nor the lack of responsibilities. I don't mind working, or knowing more about the world. But there was something about the dynamic that provided me with something that I now feel I am sorely lacking. And I only found out I would miss it once it was already long gone, and now that I am too old (relatively) to experience it again. |
