Sudden Sadness and Future Self
It’s been a few days, but more proeminently in today, thus surge of sadness which one cannot explain. There’s nothing particularly wrong, but there’s also nothing particularly right, it just comes and goes for not particular reason at all. What happened today, I finally got in my mail a handheld I had been cherising for months, and after a while I got my bucks to buy it.
And paradoxically, something that I cherished so much, did not fulfill me in the least, and partly, maybe I guess that’s why it’s making me sad. Replaying old games that I enjoyed during my childhood, just does not feel the same anymore. Most probably because I too am not the same anymore, but how could something that used to give me joy now give me dread?
