Is it normal to be depressed/sadden/ about many memories

I guess it's because my life hasn't been great in awhile, so I often think about the good times that I've had. And even when I may be happy, memories of the past still sadden me. Things I use to love, and how I use to feel, are by far better than things I'm associated with today. Watching a TV show that I use to watch as a kid makes me sad. Celebrating the holidays make me happy but I think about the people that came and stepped out of my life, whether they've passed or just aren't relevant anymore. I use to hate school, and I couldn't stand some of my classmates, but I sorta miss going in the morning. My favorite singer, Aaliyah, is dead and I wish she was here to continue in the spotlight. Is this normal? My girlfriend thinks I just love being depressed.

    This is definitely normal. It's hard sometimes to not live in the past. You just have to try and concentrate on making things better for now, the present.

    You're lucky to have happy memories (I don't, so I don't look back) - now move on and make new ones!
