RE: My entry to the contest looking back and looking forward. Week 4.01.
I am sorry to hear you feel sad. In a way I know what you mean. It has to do with getting older too. I also always worked and planned after years vacations, mainly to show my children something and for my health. It wasn't relaxed, work partly. My children can hardly remember anything of it but I took many photos. Today I think back of my own words as I "forced" them to go out.
I said: The day will come you can no longer travel. If you go now you have memories to look back at. I never thought that day would arrive so fast.
Sometimes it is nostalgic to remember the past. I like to see happy pictures to avoid remembering sadness. It is not pleasant for me to feel sad. I never like to feel sad about the past or the present. You can't waste time in sadness because life goes out of the blue.
It is easier said as done. Feeling sad is a feeling and it depends on the person how easily how easily this feeling shows. I assume it has to do with hormones and character too. At the moment my youngest feels sad. I cannot tell her she has no right to, shouldn't be or it's a waste of time.
Yes, we all have the right to feel the way we want to feel. The important thing is not to stay too long in those feelings that make us so vulnerable to external factors. My son sometimes tells me he is sad and we just talk about what is making him sad. I don't like to leave him alone when he is sad.
