I think of this often. I am a young man by most accounts still, and if my genetics hold out will pass as one for another decade or so, but much of my time whether working or idle is devoted to memories. I remember summer vacations and journeys I made when I was a younger child, all of the fun I had and the enjoyment I felt in the exact moments I crystallized them in my mind. They're all insignificant to anyone else: For example, one of my fondest memories was during a random summer day at a cousin's house, reading a Nintendo Power in their living room just before setting it down and running outside. I can still feel the excitement from that exact moment as I looked at an ad for Harvest Moon on the Gameboy.

I know I'm not alone in my thoughts. Anyone I speak to agrees, they have these pictures in time they would give anything to leap into even if just for awhile. Given the embellishment of the mind I am sure I will think similarly now in another fifteen years. It doesn't stop me from feeling such melancholy though.
