Today's Horoscope Thursday Night Bonus
Some people are sentimental and nostalgic, and hold onto memories, good or bad. They relive them over and over, for a multitude of reasons. Some because the past seems safer and it makes more sense than the present. Some because the people that exist in the past don't exist in the present, and there are holes in their lives that never fill, and memories bring them solace. Some think of the past, and it makes everything feel better, if not a little bittersweet.
Some people live in the past because they can't get over some trauma or heartbreak that haunts them. They can't get closure, no matter how hard they try. No answer they arrive at makes sense, no diversion can occupy their thoughts for long, no new love or kindness can ever make up for the damage that has been done. For them, the past is an open wound, and the present is agony. They are untethered.
On any random Thursday night, a lot of people might be living in the past, for good or bad. Some are content, some are torn apart, some are in denial, and some are just lonely, reliving whatever it is that they can't let go of, and wondering if their best days are behind them, or still lie ahead.
That's when your humanity is right near the surface, bursting through your skin and demanding to be acknowledged, and it seems like your whole life is in play. It is, all the time, so figure out where you want to live it, because there are a lot of melancholy Thursday nights in your future. What will your memories bring?
