Sometimes I get this ache for who I was years ago, not because life was better, but because I felt more me. Now everything feels dulled out or scripted (this could also be effects of socializing, work etc etc) and it’s just off. Has anyone else experienced this weird nostalgia for yourself and how do you deal with it?
Is it normal to feel homesick for a version of yourself you can’t get back to?

I feel it too. I always wanted to change and I did. I became the jolly and outgoing person I wanted to be but I feel like I lost all the charm and calm I had within myself. I feel so out of line now but then I also understand that growth brings all this to you. You got to accept that sometimes you’ll fail to go against the odds and lose yourself in the process. It’s just that you’ve to embrace the change and have an attitude that can bring you where you want to be and make you who you want to be. The only way that I deal with it is living through it. Nothing else helps. Some days I endure the pain on others I embrace the happiness brought by the change.
