do you ever feel sad with nostalgia

like if you hear an old tune from in the day, like when i hear old forgotten tracks from the the 80s and early 90s, it makes me think of people i knew back then, girls i knew...that i lost touch with....and i feel sad about the things that '' could have been'' but never worked out...and i also feel an overwhelming feeling of nostalgia and i feel sad....as times have changed now and i lost contact with those girls i knew...god knows where they are now...they're probablly married or have kids and partnered up.

how do you cope with these feelings?

I was engaged at Uni, with someone for 2 years. It ended abruptly, mainly I thought because her father did not like me going there, and we were at different unis in the last you.

With the INTERNET emerged social media. We discovered we were on the same site.

I asked if we should contact. She wrote yes, and sent me a long email.

She had married within a year one of her university lecturers, seeing him whilst I was away.

This just left me cold.
