i'm not sure if it's widespread

or just happens to run rampant among

those in my inner circle

but we finally coined a term

for the common tendency to

revel in our memories:

C.N.D.

(Chronic Nostalgia Disorder)

extensive dwelling in the past

inhibits our ability to move forward

a bit of reliving specific moments

can bring a knowing glow to

anyone's core

but all we truly have is the now

i suppose the secret lies in our willingness

to accept and embrace change,

recognizing that the little sparkles of now

will soon infiltrate our memory banks

instead of being sucked
into the vortex of bittersweet,
 maybe we'll gradually become more
in tune with our C.N.D.
