Indulge in Present-Tense Nostalgia

Future you will be nostalgic for something happening right now. How cool is that?

Hello, friends. I hope you’re having a lovely day. Today’s Card is Reverse.

Take a trip down memory lane and indulge in something nostalgic. There can be wisdom in identifying what makes us yearn for and appreciate something specific from our past. What about right now do you think you’ll be nostalgic about one day?

I’m notoriously nostalgic — especially around my birthday, which was last week! I wrote about birthday nostalgia last year and shared a zine about my favorite childhood toy. You can check out that post here. Also, can you believe I’ve been sending out this newsletter every week for more than a year now? Maybe you’re not as surprised as I am. Either way, wow, time flies, and thank you for sticking with me every week!

I think the most important part of today’s card is the question: “What about right now do you think you’ll be nostalgic about one day?”

It’s difficult to identify these types of things in the present tense, but the idea that there is something happening right now that you’ll yearn for in the future is 1. an extremely comforting thought (to me anyway!) and 2. a useful way to identify what to savor right now.

Here is a time-lapse video of Reverse coming to life:
