maybe behind love, but this emotion/feeling is a VERY strange and unique one. It doesn't come often and it feels like no other emotion. It's almost a 'longing' kind of emotion however it's stretched over a long period of time, with maybe a hint of sadness (a good kind). idk... and it effects every type of person and can come from anything. Friends are a good example, or girlfriends of the past - however even video games (Ocarina of Time for me) can cause nostalgia - maybe even more than I'd like to admit. It's a strange state of mind. Anyone have anything nostalgic they'd like to share? Or would just like to agree with me?

I know what you mean, nostalgia has a way overrating the good parts of life while forgetting about the bad.

Nostalgia is an amazingly powerful emotion.

When I think back on parts of my childhood it is heartbreaking to think I won't ever get to experience them again....

I know what you mean. I think that's a lot of what it is really. Just being kinda sad that you can't relive those great moments.

i feel like when i get old it will be too powerful... like now i still feel nostalgic about somethings but i brush it off because i know I've got a long life ahead of me with even greater things coming. Once I'm old that'll be it, I can't fight off nostalgia with thoughts of the future. Who knows though

I don't believe in it. Nostalgia wears off after 3 minutes for me.

Yes I love that feeling/emotion. I agree with it being almost as strong as love though it is more special because it doesn't happen often.

Eh. It's a decent movie, but it's not Tarkovsky's best.

I enjoyed it quite a bit, of course the imagery was amazing. But it didn't have the same feeling like Andrei Rublev or Stalker. :P

For me, this week has been nostalgic. I've been connecting with old friends. Talking to my last ex. Going through all of my stuff, packing, throwing away things, but I've been finding things from my childhood... and I found a 90's internet radio site :)
