i am 22 years old,and i carry with myself vivid memories of what i have done over the past 22 years,well, i am a firm believer of the fact that it's your memories that shape you,people might say that you should erase your past and move,but what would really happen,if you suffered a memory loss,you would become a hollow person!So,try to relish to nostalgic moments,because whenever you feel sad or angry,try recollecting your memories and definitely it will help you to find your answers to your problems because nostalgic moments are a god sent gift for us,so,make the most of it!

It depends on the way our past has shaped up.Some people tend to have a very dark past the memories of which always haunt them.In such a case they want to forget their past at any cost.But yeah its our past that shapes our character so we should always take a good care of our past and keep them afresh in our memories..

I agree with you that it is our memories that shape who we are, so I think it is important to look back every once in a while. But we should not look back too often or we won't go forward. We should remember the mistakes that we did so that we could learn from them, but we must not dwell on these mistakes because we will never be able to do something to correct them. We should live in the present and just use our past to guide us. We must not allow ourselves to live in the past.

We need to keep nostalgia alive in our hearts. The past is what makes us what we are to day. It builds our character and personalities. I spend a lot of time scrapbooking. There are so many ways to capture cherished moments of the past this way. There are just so many nostalgic times that we don't want to lose.

i would love to reminisce my childhood... how i used to love the rain and play in the rain... how we used to climb trees, play under the sun and everything...
and somtimes, even if i dont want to recollect my painful experiences with love, memories just wont leave me alone..

I just dont want to remember that past which was very bad for me...but yes, I always carry my sweet memories with me as they always gives me strength so far. Sometimes I do recall my bad past also as that helps me to avoid those matter which can become my haunting past....so the conclusion is I recall my good memories everyday , while bad one I recall rarely.

ya it will be according to what kind of memmories you have in your past , if someone is having a bad past it is better not to remember it . but it is not the same in the person who is had some good past it will be better for him to get some feeling from it so it will allow him to get nice feeling . but according to my concept being nostalgic will take way your precious time , with that time you could have done some thing really that can make you feel good , also you may have some thing done productive....
