The past always seems to be better when you look back on it, than it did at the time. The past is filled with all of my personal greatest hits: graduated college, kissed the guy, bought a car, lived abroad. In my mind, the past holds only the best version of myself and of what has happened to me. All of the sleepless nights studying, the crying over the guy, the penny pinching? Who cares, because my memories surely don't!
I think it's safe to say that we all, at one point or another, put on our rose tinted glasses and fall into a haze of romanticizing the past, not only about our personal lives, but about how life used to be so much simpler, the world was a better place to live in, music was so much better and the only small orange beings I could recall were oompa loompas and not this woman.
Hands down, tv shows come off the worst if you take a trip down memory lane. Remember when MTV used to be about music? Remember Carson, Daria and Cornholio? Team Dawson or team Pacey? Was it really cheating if Ross and Rachel were on a break? Were you a Carrie, a Miranda, a Samantha or a Charlotte? And when I think about a "spiderman kiss", I don't think of Kirsten and Tobey, but of Summer and Seth. Of course TV back then had it's terrible things, like the whole Marissa Cooper downward spiral, but I think tv lately has gone the way of Felicity's hair.
