“The more you grow as a person, the more homes you find, the more homes you make, the more homes you share. Each return to a home you once left becomes a realization that it takes up a smaller and smaller place among all the homes you now know. It’s only natural to feel like you’re being torn into pieces.” Nostalgia Book:Goodbye, Again: Essays, Reflections, and Illustrations Source: Goodbye, Again: Essays, Reflections, and Illustrations
“So this nostalgia is, what, an echo of a happiness? Or a long-delayed one? Is it an outline of one, from trying to remember a happiness I knew I should have felt in the moment but that most likely wasn't really there? Or, maybe nostalgia is to feel happiness about something that is over because it is over. That in order to feel happy about it, it must be something that you can't go back to and affect, that you can't mess up from where you are now, but also, that you can't really feel at all.” HappinessNostalgia Book:Goodbye, Again: Essays, Reflections, and Illustrations Source: Goodbye, Again: Essays, Reflections, and Illustrations
