DECREASING TURNAROUND TIME FOR NOSTALGIA

first you’re nostalgic for childhood then for being a teenager then for last year then for last november then before you know it you miss last week and you’ll never get the same feeling back and it gets closer and closer and your brain collapses 🫶

Look back and look forward

I’m quite the sentimental kid so I am constantly in my head about time passing. I’ve found though that the practice of looking back (I read my old journals, for instance) and really being in awe sometimes of just how far I’ve come helps. In a similar but opposite vein, looking forward (making set goals and taking the time to imagine the person you’ll become) is great too. If you’ve forgotten memories you once assumed would stay with you forever, consider that the space in your memory/mind had to open up for something even better that’s coming along. Take the time to wonder what those better memories could be. There’s something equally terrifying and incredibly liberating about time. You wanna go back about as bad as you wanna skip ahead, that’s the game. Coping with it looks different for everyone, though. These are just my two cents and what’s been helping me at this moment in my life.

WIBY.ME

“Google isn't great at finding [old webpages], its focus is on finding answers to technical questions, and it works well; but finding things you didn't know you wanted to know, which was the real joy of web surfing, no longer happens.” -Wiby about page I love Wiby.me! I’ve found some amazing old websites using its random page feature, but I know it also works as a search engine for these older pages. It really brings back that sense of wonder you used to have for the internet as a kid in 2012…

in defense of pitt’s brutalism

In my stint as a student of the University of Pittsburgh, one of the most common complaints I heard was of the massive school’s sprawling, depressing, almost-Soviet architecture. From the sharp corners of Posvar to the looming Litchfield Towers, spending grey winter days at the school—surrounded by sallow-faced boys smoking cigarettes on the corners—really could make you feel like you had passed through the iron curtain. Thanks to the eccentric tastes of my father, though, I was more captivated than these buildings than depressed. Also, when you’re 19 and desperately sad, it can feel pretty poetic to have that bleak essentialist mood projected into the landscape around you. Really, my only complaint is that Pitt should be taking better care of its concrete. It looks like it’s melting all the time. My favorite buildings at Pitt: • Posvar • Lawrence Hall • Chevron Science Hall • Litchfield Towers • Frick Fine Arts Building
