I miss having summer feel like it lasts forever: every summer in elementary school.

I have this vague sense that I wasted those summers, like if I'd known all that I know now, I would have spent those summers hacking and playing music and growing as a person so that by now, I'd have an infinitely higher platform to grow off of. I don't remember what I did during those summers anyway, so I wish I'd spent them more wisely. But it is what it is.

More regret than nostalgia, huh? I find that when I think about the past, regret fills me more readily than nostalgia, so I'm probably better off just letting go of the past. I find it more productive to hope and look forward to the present moment.
