I loved your reflection! What you say is very true, and I also share that view.
I believe it is an illusion to think that we were happier before. Living anchored to the past means not valuing all the learning and experiences we have had: the wonderful moments, the laughter, the sighs, and also, why not, those difficult and challenging moments that made us cry and filled us with uncertainty, but that, nevertheless, shaped us into the people we are today.
For me, it is an illusion to believe that we were happier before. Yes, there were good things in the past, but there are also good things today. Just as I enjoyed things back then, I can enjoy them today as well. For example, I fondly remember the afternoons of playing with my friends in childhood, but now I fully enjoy deep conversations with my 20-year-old daughter, sharing experiences and dreams.
The moment I understood that the girl I was at 10, 15, 17, 20, 25, and 30 all live within me, now that I am 40, I began to enjoy the here and now, and to thank each of them for everything they did and for giving me the opportunity to be who I am. I appreciate the past because it was great, I value and enjoy the present because it is great, and I sigh and look forward to the future because it will also be great.
Without a doubt, those we experienced were wonderful moments, but the time has come when we must move forward. Thank you very much for the comment and a hug @esperanzalandia
