Is it normal to live in the past?

I was born in the late 1960's, a child of the 1970's and 1980's became an adult in the 1990's, and now I'm 43 years old and I find that sometimes my mind wonders back in time to the 1970's when I think times were better. I had my nan and also my Dad was still alive,I was still at school and safe at home with my family, what a comfort zone! The music was much better then and so was film and TV, not like it is now! I only like 60's 70's and 80's music, hate most of the 90's and todays music?..don't bother! I like modern technoligy, like the mobile phone and the internet, but music and TV these days is so rubbish, is this normal?

  • Seems pretty normal to me. Unless it becomes obsessive or something. I too find myself often thinking about the past more so then the present or future. Specifically my highschool years. I have a lot of regrets and wish I did a lot of things differently.

  • You're damn right!
    The music & tv, movies, suck today.
    No originality.
    In society- Bunch of wackjob mass killers or pervs everywhere...
    I read the news and sometimes feel like I'm Marty living in Back to the Future part 2 's altered reality when Biff ran the city!! & I need to find Doc & fix the Flux Compacitor to put life back to how it should be!

  • It's hard to be an adult - I'm about the same age and miss the days when I was in school and didn't have to worry about bills, jobs, etc. Also, you are right about tv and music. I can't stand the reality shows, they are dumbing down society - how do people find them entertaining?
