Nostalgia. Or Nostalgie. A Feeling we all are familiar with.

Nostalgia. Or nostalgie. When he revisits his past, he feels nostalgic. It also refers to the part when he constantly and many times sub consciously draws patterns between his past and present events. That is when his present takes him back to the past. It also comes with introspection. When he is reflecting on something. Or evaluating his present, he is incessantly, ceaselessly, tirelessly mapping his here and now to where and when. Thats nostalgia.

Coincidences, i.e. the experiences having an abstract pattern intelligible to his sentience and not necessarily his conscience. Or empirically proven events but which also are elusive and allusive in a very sly and exciting manner, they arouse him. They are like the spirit embalming his seething passions, setting them ablaze like a flambe . Days and nights pass by while he is lost in a reverie. Pleasant or unpleasant, he loses contact with the trivialities like sadness or happiness, achievement or despair, kinship or aloofness, instead he is in contact with a different transcendental realization, it feels as if he can look past an azure firmament. Thats nostalgia too.. It makes every bit of what stands motionless across him, look like what it looks like through the looking glass. Nostalgia is when he gets up every morning and recollects anything that he can associate with, anything that tells him who he is. If he is not nostalgic, will he forget who he is? Will he be over his past? A distant past. The curse of nostalgia will hold him back.

Right now he is thinking if nostalgia defines him, then tomorrow when he gets up and recollects what he did the same time a day ago, and realizes that he had assimilated the happenings of the penultimate day, which was essentially the recollection of the day before that. But suddenly he is nostalgic about the many times when he got up and did'nt have a clue of what he is doing. If he is nostalgic about too many things, he ll be a different person at different times. Thats how Nostalgia defines him. Maybe it defines all of us.
