   They're real events that happened and will always be there. You can go back to them and re-live them as many times as you want and it'll make you feel better because its real. If you had a tablet that was super advanced technology that was able to show you a place in the past, and you typed in the gps coordinates and the date and time of a happy, carefree moment you had, you'd see it there on the screen because its real.
   
   But when you don't have that, your mind just sorta...makes up imaginary fantasies, which bring you up for a short time, but then when you eventually stop and come back to reality it hurts you more and for longer because you know it isn't real.

   ^ Yeah the past always seems better than it actually was, but sometimes it actually was though.

   It’s only because you don’t remember the bullshit you were dealing with at that point even if it was minimal. There’s always bullshit.
