True nostalgia is an ephemeral composition of disjointed memories

We wallow in nostalgia but manage to get it all wrong. True nostalgia is an ephemeral composition of disjointed memories. . .

Some days in late August at home are like this, the air thin and eager like this, with something in it sad and nostalgic and familiar...

From an evolutionary point of view, most emotions - fear, desire, anger - serve some practical purpose, but nostalgia is a useless, futile thing because it is a longing for something that is permanently lost . . . .

Tears flow and smiles fade to the same rhythm of life, to disappear together in the bottomless abyss.
