the nostalgia makes me wanna cry😭

5/3 Edited to

... Read moreNostalgia is a unique emotional experience that can suddenly sweep over you and bring unexpected tears. For me, revisiting memories from childhood—such as classic books like Alice in Wonderland or beloved toys like LEGO sets—often unlocks a floodgate of feelings. These moments of looking back remind me how certain simple things from the past shaped who I am today. Music icons like Michael Jackson provide another powerful connection to nostalgia. His songs not only soundtracks my youth but also carry emotional resonance that brings back vivid memories, making the nostalgia even more intense. Sometimes, it’s these cultural touchstones combined with personal experience that make us realize how deeply intertwined memory and identity are. From my experience, nostalgia is not just about longing for the past; it also serves as a way to process who we’ve become by reflecting on the innocence and joy of childhood. Whether it’s flipping through an anniversary edition of a favorite storybook or piecing together a LEGO masterpiece, these triggers can transport us back to simpler times when the world felt full of magic and possibilities. Sharing these feelings with others who understand the power of nostalgia can be comforting. It’s a reminder that while we might sometimes feel overwhelmed by emotions, we’re connected through these shared human experiences. Have you ever felt an unexpected wave of emotion after revisiting something from your childhood or hearing a song from your youth? That’s the beauty and bittersweetness of nostalgia at work.

Cuz tell me why 되다 is for passive voice, but also for more than that? The pictures are only some of my notes on the topic. I've filled up two Goodnotes pages on this already and there's still more. Please, I just want to understand 😭 #lemon8diarychallenge #learningalanguage #lea
