This was another example from my life when I wanted to stand in my own way.
There are people who resist it and there are people who welcome it.

They miss the good old times, and I feel that too when we talk about nostalgia.
But I’m also someone who has been practicing self-awareness for more than a decade now, and I know what this kind of behavior means.
