Okay, so, this post is gonna be a little bit atypical for this forum but hear me out.
Lately I've been experiencing this incredible nostalgia for the girl I dated in high school.
This isn't wanting her back (not in the least, the relationship was largely bad, it was she who pursued me and I ended it decisively).
But there's just something about the memory of going through all those FIRSTS with this girl that's creeping up on me now, these 7-8 years later.
All these years later those memories play over in my head like a frickin' movie or something. It's like the relationship has become a symbol of my innocent teenage years or something.
It's not something I've been thinking about the whole time through all the other girls I dated ever since this relationship ended.
It's a line of thought that's just got into my head very recently.
And there's also this fear that because this was high school and the girl was dumb enough to do all the pursuing, all future relationships where I do the pursuing will seem stressful and insecure by comparison.
Question is, do you guys think that this kind of ruminating on the past is healthy or unhealthy?
If it's not healthy, do you think it signals a need to get laid or something ?(I doubt it, this isn't something I think about while jerking off or something, just a memory loop I play over and over).
Yeah, I get it, this post is a bit off the forum's whole tone, but it's something I can't get out of my head.
