      @@xShadow_God Yeah you are 100% right and in all seriousness I do understand that teachers want students to use reputable and well known sources as some will not be able to tell fact from fabrication. However, I do believe that there are some real gems on youtube and the internet, such as 3blue1brown, professor dave explains, and crashcourse. This is not to mention all of the other online resources that can be found like, cliched as it it, brilliant and khan academy. I guess in a way I just find it a shame that school makes learning a chore, when it should be a wonderful and exciting experience. School teaches us to be perfect and get everything right because you need to do well on the exam, when this is the opposite of how learning works. You have to learn by making mistakes and then understanding why the initial assumptions leading to those mistakes were wrong. This takes time though and schools don't have time to spare so instead we get told to memorise things rather than actually understand them, and in that way I feel that school isn't a place where students hone their problem solving skills or critical thinking, but rather a place where we push our memories to the limit. And the process of memorising facts and figures is laborious, so no wonder students hate learning.

      fr it seems like everyone was just happy and living. and it felt like everyone was connected. in this day in age it feels like everyone is splitting up and branching out. like i remember in 2010's i remember sleep overs at peoples houses. watching madagascar or something. seeing a lot of people. people that i don't even know anymore and don't even know if they're still alive. christmas in the 2010's was always a highlight. maybe as a kid you're not as exposed to how the world really is. ignorance is bliss so when you grow up and see things as they really are the magic goes away and you're just living like everyone else is. there's no more waking up in the morning to see what santa left for you under the tree because there is no santa. it becomes less magical. living right now i'm not gonna say it's terrible but i do feel more alone than ever. i don't see as much people as i used to. and i wish sometimes i could just go back to being a kid when it was simple and fun.

    In my case, the nostalgia robs me of living my current life. I'm stuck replaying my life until I ended high school, before I lost my home, before mental problems, before losing all friends I had. It's not so much that I don't remember how terrible things also were back then, but I remember how I lived to my fullest, even with depression I was going to the forest, exploring abandoned places, driving a bicycle around the city, having people to hang out, having passion and ambition to change the world... Then the adult life hit and showed me how much I was wrong, how the world is just broken and you can no longer be the teenager in your mind. I miss my old self, even though I was toxic and sometimes crazy. The mental problems - they came from the realization of how nothing I thought about my future was coming true. I'm apathic, I don't have any desires, I don't even have the strength to learn and do hobbies. My whole life right now is just seeing my girlfriend, sleeping, going to college and working when there is a task to do to earn some money. I don't have any plans or ideas about my future, I don't know what to do with myself. Even my girlfriend told me it's hurting her that I don't have any plans for summer with her. I have a lot of abilities, I'm smart, yet I never found a good job for myself, my town doesn't have any offers for me other than physical jobs, yet with college I don't have time to work, at the same time I don't have courage to move away anywhere else. I'm afraid of the next year, of what will come. I don't want to spend my whole life just working to have enough money for bills. I don't live in the US, I live in Poland, if you wished to write a suggestion/hint.
    Sorry for the long message, and probably nobody really cares about this, don't take this as a cry for help. It's my means of defining nostalgia - inability to live today because of how much I miss the old times, school days in this example. If only time travel ever existed, I would just go back to watch my dead relatives once again, even if I can't talk with them or interact, I just want to see my past life again and maybe finally move on.
    Nostalgia is the curse of being a sentient being.

I started panicking about it, about having to work, about not having any plans for life, about how I'm going to be broke. Well - I accepted some of it and I live with my family, being broke most of the time. I had huge ambitions and ideas, I was constantly wanting to build things, but never had funds to buy materials and tools. Now even if I do have some of the tools, I don't have the time or self-esteem to actually do things. I went to study mechanical engineering to be able to create such things, yet it only showed me how unfair, full of cheating the college is, how I won't earn any more money with a degree than without it and how I still have no idea what to do after I finish the degree. I know I can do anything in life, I'm just actually too scared to do so. Scared of not knowing what to do next, and because of that scared of wasting my whole life.

    I’m 23, and for all you teens out there, I have one piece of advice. When you go somewhere for a few days that you know is gonna be one of the best things you’ll do for a while, (for example, for me, it was a school football tour with my mates, and a trip to Germany with my best friends), listen to 4 or 5 songs only, whenever you have the time in that trip. They don’t have to be songs that u love, and u can do other things while you’re listening.
    What that did for me was, whenever I listened to those songs in the future, I had such nostalgia. Please, just try it.

    Nostalgia is good and bad. It's good because you're remembering all the good times, and bad because of the longing to go back to the good times.

      The world was in fact just as toxic, you just weren't aware. Kids today will still have nostalgia for these times that are so "toxic" because they don't need yours or anyone else's approval to live life and make memories.
      Cheri's the times you had but a massive issue with nostalgia is falsely remembering the past and white washing it, removing all the negatives that did in fact exist

    I'm only eighteen and I'm consumed by nostalgia. I'm on a downward depressive spiral and the sadder I get, the more I long for my childhood. Even seeing kids makes my heart hurt. There's such beauty in innocence - I can't believe that that Christmas isn't exciting anymore. I feel like I've become a nihilist and turning back time would save me because you automatically find meaning in the simplest things when you're too young to know any better. I wish I could live in the present again.

It put my current life and the present into perspective while removing all the negativity I have built up until that point. It was a beautiful and life changing experience, and I honestly don't think I'd be here now without it. I am thankful to the person who gave it to me, and was reminded of it by this video.

Just for a moment I was brought back to my days when I was younger in the mountains of Virginia near Kentucky when every morning I would wait for the train infront of my house on my way to school or town. There's a smell to it , the tar smell with smokiness to it . These views and smell brought me happiness but when I thought into it I remembered that Coal itself, the building block of the economy of my former region will be gone soon and gone for ever . This brought me joy , sadness , and a feeling of age . I have never been able to put a pin or name on that feeling .

It is beyond any earthly understanding of ecstasy there. Read about near death experiences, it is a fascinating topic. You will have access to any memories you desire. In the words of a near death experiencer, the afterlife is "whatever makes your soul happy and glad".

I miss playing with my best friends. I miss my old kids tablet. I miss my confidence. I miss my anxiety free younger life. I miss being a Child. If I could go back to those times I would. I wish I didn’t make those bad decisions. I wish I didn’t argue with my mom all the time. I miss driving every day with my parents. I wish my parents loved each other still. I wish my best friends still talked to me. I wish I could go back. Please take me back. Please! I need to go back to apologize to my mom. I need to go back to tell my dad I love him. I miss my moms laugh. I miss my dads laugh. I wish my mom could teach me how to do laundry again. I wish my dad could teach me how to do multiplication again. Why does life do this to me? Why can’t I go back? Why can’t I let go of the memories I made? Why does everything feel worse now? I miss 2019. I miss 2018. I miss 2017. I miss 2016. I miss 2015. I don’t want to forget anymore. I want to remember the happy memories I made. I always think my parents hate me, but I always forget about how they treated me back then, how they gave up everything for me. I’m proud of my parents. I’m proud of myself. I’m proud of you.

    The music at 5:50 gave me loads of nostalgia from when I first watched this channel 🥲 now I want those times back though😕 oh man those were good times. Life was so simple😢. Now there is so much to deal with and not just mindlessly playing Minecraft and talking to my best friends 😭
