At old family photos and get depressed because you realize life is just passing you by? I understand that looking back should be fun and full of memories but then I realize it’s going by to damn fast.
My grandmother that lived to be over 100 years old past last week and I’m sure this is what has my mind going. Getting old sucks! A day doesn’t go by that I think about my mother and father’s wellbeing!
Maybe I need to go to bead!

I look back at sitting with my Mom, holding her hand and talking to her as she passed.

Circle of life, I suppose.

I was doing a bit of spring cleaning last week and found a couple of small boxes of photos. Do not really feel I am missing the "good old days" all that much.

I understand! I think it is harder now to deal with it with young kids and all.

Brother you need to change your outlook on life. Im 33 and I look back constantly and I would never want to be anywhere else but the here and now. I am getting smarter, stronger, faster, better with money, you name it I am improving in every way. Fuck the past, your 30's and 40's are a battleground for the rest of your life, start winning!

No, but only because almost all photos were lost to a flood.

New memories are made.

Yes..I actually have box full of old photos next to me at the moment I've been meaning to scan in.  Every once in awhile I'll go through them and I just have to shake my head at how quickly time has gone.

I am 47 and am really starting to feel the years slipping by.  While I've had some good things happen to me, what bothers me the most are the things I've missed out on or haven't done enough of.  Trying to change that, and make up for lost time but it is increasingly difficult because of the increased demands my job has these days.

no for 2 reasons


1. everything i have done in my past is part of what made me the man i am today.

and the major one

2. at 23, i aint old enough to look back on shit.

When I look through old photos,

for the most part I think about what a fine damn time it's been.

Photos are only a small piece.  It's the memories you made that last and live forever.

no pictures, no family, no regrets. I've avoided cameras for all of my post pubescent life. If I wasn't 6'4" you would maybe see my picture under "Grey Man" in the dictionary.

I look at old photos and think I should have spent more time with the people who are not around anymore.

Me too, and yes...I feel the same.  I miss the "old days" but look very much forward to the future.

ETA:  At the same time, I'm making the most of today....
