Its like i always look back at a time when everything was good and i just want that part of my life back.

A time when i had a exceptioanlly hot gf, great friendships, great social life, less problems at home. Life has got quite hard for me lately and i just cant help but reminisce about this time. I was on such a high then and didnt even know it. Im craving to go back to that time.

Its like i was on the top and lost everything and im now on the bottom.

For some reason going back to that stage of my life again seems so unreal and i honestly never feel like i will ever go back to a level like that. Maybe i set such high standards for myself.

Anyone be able to relate at all?

Dude - that's how life is. Haven't you ever heard your parents talk about "the good old days?"

Humans are nostalgic by nature. "Youth is wasted on the young," they say. In part, they are right because the young often don't take advantage of their numerous opportunities. But in another sense, that is a flawed statement because all those ridiculous things that go on in youth are what brought them into adulthood.

So don't worry about it. You will have ups and downs. Best thing is just to remain confident and positive. Because positivity breeds success.

Remember that -

POSITIVITY BREEDS SUCCESS

Dude everyone has their lows, its how you react to a low like this which will determine what will happen to you next.

You got to get off your ass and tell yourself that you will reach that period of your life again. Set yourself a goal of reaching a better high then the one you reminisce of. And then when you reach it, you wont even have to reminsce about those days coz youre in a better state now. Aim for a better gf, more true friendships, better social life, etc. That should be your main aim.

First thing you got to do is stop reminsicing. Its ok to look back on good times once in a while but spending most of your time doing that is just self-destruction. I used to reminisce a lot about my ex when i broke up with her but then i just slapped myself and told myself to 'stop being a *****'. Fuk the past, its gone. Just make it your sole aim on achieving those times again, if you could do it then, why not again.

Good luck bro.

dannyc hit it right on the head.

i, myself, am victim to the 'reminisce' thing. I remember dating a chick, then when we broke up spending all my time wishing it was the past when things were good.

then a funny thing happened. i met another chick. that was great. now that we're broken up, i did the same thing. only difference is i now realize that after the first time i did something about it and found happiness again.

i'm starting to focus less on my ex...no longer allow myself to slip into teh past...and it's now all about september 2005 and beyond.

you are in total control of your life. you could be very happy right now if you channeled the energy you spent thinking about the past on improving the future. you never know...the one night you go out (instead of sitting at home sulking) may be the one night you find the woman of your dreams. if you don't, keep searching.

she's out there bro....but if you come with a sad face, she'll sense it and walk away.

be the man! you'll look back at now and laugh once you find your true happiness.
