The DU Lounge

Some memories are happy, many are sad, some just seem to be random, where I remember something that happened. A fair number of memories are of parts of the past that younger people will never know about because the memories are of times and circumstances that are just gone.
It may be that for those of us who have been lucky enough to survive into old age that these memories pop up because most of our experiences are behind us, rather than ahead.
I am in my seventh decade. My happiest memories are from when I was in my late teens and through my twenties. We had more hope back then that we were going to be able to overcome the injustices of our society and create a better world for all.
At least you look back at your experiences and wish that you could have done better. You have grown in wisdom as you have aged. We all have the opportunity to do that, but some people don't bother. They just...get old, and the worst ones, like the MAGAts, demonstrate how not to be.
Sending hugs.
