Nostalgia and I go back a long way. While I have no problem with the present, I love the past. That's because I had the world's best holidays when I was young. Those days can never be re-created, because a child's experience of a good family holiday is unique. As a child you don't care how much the holiday costs, and time is an immeasurable concept.
Every day is a new start.
You're with the most important people in your life - your family. The pressure of existence is reduced to a circle of familiar people and the ground on which you stand. The future is a different planet. Most importantly, there is a weird lack of context. As a child, you're the centre of the universe and every experience is intense and deeply remembered.
