Even if one clings mostly to good memories and ignores the bad in past selves, it is still important not to linger too much in the past, as difficult as that can be. especially for... intensely nostalgia-prone people (guilty myself).
I'd say the past self I sometimes miss is the carefree, imaginative escapist that did not perceive the passage of time. The one who could easily, and without guilt, fully investing the mind and escaping into fantasy and other worlds whether it's video games, hobbies, movies, books, or other means.
That reminds me, I used to alternate the genre of books Id read. Nonfiction, fiction, nonfiction, fiction and so on... Just hit me I haven't read any fiction in a while. Maybe I'm due.
Thanks for dropping by! Did you switch to non-fiction or do you not have the time to read any more?

I still read non fiction yes.
I think somewhere down the line I started to have less time to read and in retrospect, I must've flagged fiction as "non-essential reading" and cut there.
Thinking it over now, maybe that was a mistaken assumption, if you consider any reading (including fiction) as food for the mind and soul.
