DAE face this too?
So I am 19 , I finished high school last year (from India) and I took a year off from joining college i.e I was at home the whole 2025 whereas many of my peers joined college immediately in 2025.
So coming to the point , lately I've been feeling really nostalgic about how my secondary schooling and high school went and I regularly become sad at the fact that I can't experience them anymore , especially with the people I can no longer be in contact with anymore due to conflicts and all.
Well I guess my peers don't really feel it that way because they joined college asap and made new friends whereas i took the time to self reflect and I had no new friends thereby making me dwell more into what happened in the past.
It's honestly sad to grow up , i wish I had more time in school , this feeling of nostalgia grips me very hard and sometimes it's hard to not show in whatever I do .
Is this common? Is this what growing up feels like? Will I ever be happy as much as I was in the past?
