Publish Not your original work? Add source Let us just put our stylish rose-colored glasses on and we'll get this party started. How do we look, Pandas? Awesome, that's what we wanted to hear! The [insert decade of choice] holds a special significance for many of us and probably many of: it was (arguably) a better time, the people were friendlier, life was simpler, and the future seemed far brighter. Or maybe we were all just a tad more naive. That's where the 'Pics that make you reminisce' Twitter page comes in. A social media project with a following of over 115.6k internet users, the account shares nostalgic photos of products, toys, and content that remind you of what the (recent) past was like. Most of the stuff featured here is from the past few decades, and it's reminded us to get back to work on our Time Machine. However, it doesn't matter if you were born in the '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s (hello there!), 2000s, or even the 2010s: nostalgia for our childhoods/the best years of our lives unites us all. And everyone's nostalgia is valid. The things we miss are, at their core, the same. All that's different is the shape and form, but the spirit remains the same. Scroll down, upvote your fave pics from the past, and tell us what you miss the most from your childhoods, Pandas! Suzanne Degges-White, Ph.D., Licensed Counselor, Professor, and Chair at the Department of Counseling and Higher Education at Northern Illinois University, was kind enough to answer Bored Panda's questions about nostalgia, how much reminiscing is 'too much,' and how we can learn to be more grateful of what we have in the present. You'll find Bored Panda's full interview with the professor about the 'super power' that is nostalgia below. Don't miss out, check it out.

View more comments "Nostalgia has the 'super power' of helping us feel better about the 'now' by connecting us to positive feelings from the 'then.' Nostalgia can help us feel better about ourselves and more in control of current situations if we're able to channel that positivity into concrete actions or a reframed mindset about the present. However, when we begin 'living in the past,' we may be inviting into our lives less than optimal mental wellness and potentially compromised physical wellbeing, too," Professor Degges-White, from Northern Illinois University, explained to Bored Panda that there are certain pitfalls that come with reminiscing about the past too much. "When we succumb to memories of how things 'used to be' and refuse to address the 'what is,' we may find ourselves overwhelmed by our current conditions and less able to manage current challenges," she said. "It's often memories of home and the people who surround us that keeps us able to deal with significantly concerning or dangerous conditions. For instance, letters from home can be a lifeline for those who are engaged in warfare far away from what they consider 'home,'" the professor pointed out how being reminded of home can help people in very tough situations. #2 picsreminisce Report Final score: 290points POST Barbara Cochrane Barbara Cochrane Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Don't they still have glass marbles?

Good times 25 25points reply View more comments "It's when we become stuck in our memories of people who have died, places or times in our lives when things were 'easier' or 'better' that invites in the negative effects of nostalgia. When we are unable to make decisions about a current challenge or get stuck in memories of better times from the past, we can sink into a state in which we kind of 'tune out' of the present and ignore very real threats or opportunities in the now." According to Professor Degges-White, the very first step towards gratitude is 'waking up' and looking around you in order to recognize all of the things in life that you appreciate. "It's also helpful to step outside yourself and see how others might see your life. Gratitude can start with the basics-enough food to eat each day, a job that pays you enough to keep a roof over your head, people in your life who care about you and to whom you matter. Recognizing that not everyone in life has been as fortunate as you have and acknowledging your accomplishments is the best way to begin. Making a 'gratitude list' really does help us see our lives in a whole new way if we are committed to acknowledging the way our lives have been touched by success." #4 picsreminisce Report Final score: 207points POST MalayDragon MalayDragon Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago My kids have this game, it's still available. 49 49points reply View More Replies...

I hated it, I blame it for all my Lara Croft deaths -.- 21 21points reply View more comments The professor also opened up to Bored Panda about a personal experience that directly links to feeling gratitude. "I once received a letter from a friend who shared with me all the ways that she envied my life-from the mundane, that I had a station wagon, to my parenthood status, I had a baby girl, this friend listed ways she felt I'd been luckier in life than she had," she recounted. "While it's clear that my friend was going through some difficult times in her own life and the letter might not have been driven by any positive motivation, I was able to respond to her with a note of gratitude and appreciation for helping me step back and recognize all of the things in life for which I should feel gratitude. It was a big twist on the construction of a 'gratitude list,' and perhaps it is helpful to seek the perspective of others who care about us in the ways they see our good fortune in life. But if you ask a friend to do this, be sure to return the favor in kind." #7 picsreminisce Report Final score: 186points POST Gin. No tonic Gin.

Truth be told, we sometimes wish we could travel back in time and be kids again. Life can get very hectic when you're an adult. And we'd love to completely detach from all of the anxiety, just for a little while. The war, the pandemic, the economic difficulties-all of these are making us look back to a time when things weren't this bad… or at least when we weren't aware of it all so much. Being taken care of by your family, only having to worry about school or what you'll do with your friends for fun, was a blessing. It's nice to reminisce, but it's also vital not to get too stuck in those feelings: you wouldn't want your quality of life to drop in the present just because you long for the past. And we probably wouldn't want to go back in time if it meant that it wildly changed the future: we wouldn't want to lose all the friends and loved ones we've found along the way. #10 picsreminisce Report Final score: 164points POST emowankinemo emowankinemo Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE BLUE!

View more comments Child and adolescent therapist Kemi Omijeh, a member of the BACP, previously explained to Bored Panda that our childhoods are the foundation of who we are as adults. That's part of the reason why we frequently revisit our childhoods in our memories: our past influences our present. "If we've had a difficult childhood, it can be hard to feel nostalgic, instead it will feel like something we need to get over in order to move on," she explained that not every person will have fond memories of the past. We tend to feel nostalgic for the times when we were happy. Similarly, we shy away from memories that make us feel bad. #13 picsreminisce Report Final score: 134points POST M Kawai M Kawai Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago I miss my FarmVille farm! 39 39points reply View More Replies...

Your daydreams could be a communication about your innermost desires. Could you begin to plan how to achieve those desires?" she said that daydreaming and thinking about the past can help us become more aware of our wants and needs in the present.

30 Pics That Make You Reminisce About How Good The Past Was
Jonas Grinevičius andViktorija Ošikaitė
Publish Not your original work? Add source Let us just put our stylish rose-colored glasses on and we'll get this party started. How do we look, Pandas? Awesome, that's what we wanted to hear! The [insert decade of choice] holds a special significance for many of us and probably many of: it was (arguably) a better time, the people were friendlier, life was simpler, and the future seemed far brighter. Or maybe we were all just a tad more naive. That's where the 'Pics that make you reminisce' Twitter page comes in. A social media project with a following of over 115.6k internet users, the account shares nostalgic photos of products, toys, and content that remind you of what the (recent) past was like. Most of the stuff featured here is from the past few decades, and it's reminded us to get back to work on our Time Machine. However, it doesn't matter if you were born in the '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s (hello there!), 2000s, or even the 2010s: nostalgia for our childhoods/the best years of our lives unites us all. And everyone's nostalgia is valid. The things we miss are, at their core, the same. All that's different is the shape and form, but the spirit remains the same. Scroll down, upvote your fave pics from the past, and tell us what you miss the most from your childhoods, Pandas! Suzanne Degges-White, Ph.D., Licensed Counselor, Professor, and Chair at the Department of Counseling and Higher Education at Northern Illinois University, was kind enough to answer Bored Panda's questions about nostalgia, how much reminiscing is 'too much,' and how we can learn to be more grateful of what we have in the present. You'll find Bored Panda's full interview with the professor about the 'super power' that is nostalgia below. Don't miss out, check it out.

View more comments "Nostalgia has the 'super power' of helping us feel better about the 'now' by connecting us to positive feelings from the 'then.' Nostalgia can help us feel better about ourselves and more in control of current situations if we're able to channel that positivity into concrete actions or a reframed mindset about the present. However, when we begin 'living in the past,' we may be inviting into our lives less than optimal mental wellness and potentially compromised physical wellbeing, too," Professor Degges-White, from Northern Illinois University, explained to Bored Panda that there are certain pitfalls that come with reminiscing about the past too much. "When we succumb to memories of how things 'used to be' and refuse to address the 'what is,' we may find ourselves overwhelmed by our current conditions and less able to manage current challenges," she said. "It's often memories of home and the people who surround us that keeps us able to deal with significantly concerning or dangerous conditions. For instance, letters from home can be a lifeline for those who are engaged in warfare far away from what they consider 'home,'" the professor pointed out how being reminded of home can help people in very tough situations. #2 picsreminisce Report Final score: 290points POST Barbara Cochrane Barbara Cochrane Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Don't they still have glass marbles?

Good times 25 25points reply View more comments "It's when we become stuck in our memories of people who have died, places or times in our lives when things were 'easier' or 'better' that invites in the negative effects of nostalgia. When we are unable to make decisions about a current challenge or get stuck in memories of better times from the past, we can sink into a state in which we kind of 'tune out' of the present and ignore very real threats or opportunities in the now." According to Professor Degges-White, the very first step towards gratitude is 'waking up' and looking around you in order to recognize all of the things in life that you appreciate. "It's also helpful to step outside yourself and see how others might see your life. Gratitude can start with the basics-enough food to eat each day, a job that pays you enough to keep a roof over your head, people in your life who care about you and to whom you matter. Recognizing that not everyone in life has been as fortunate as you have and acknowledging your accomplishments is the best way to begin. Making a 'gratitude list' really does help us see our lives in a whole new way if we are committed to acknowledging the way our lives have been touched by success." #4 picsreminisce Report Final score: 207points POST MalayDragon MalayDragon Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago My kids have this game, it's still available. 49 49points reply View More Replies...

I hated it, I blame it for all my Lara Croft deaths -.- 21 21points reply View more comments The professor also opened up to Bored Panda about a personal experience that directly links to feeling gratitude. "I once received a letter from a friend who shared with me all the ways that she envied my life-from the mundane, that I had a station wagon, to my parenthood status, I had a baby girl, this friend listed ways she felt I'd been luckier in life than she had," she recounted. "While it's clear that my friend was going through some difficult times in her own life and the letter might not have been driven by any positive motivation, I was able to respond to her with a note of gratitude and appreciation for helping me step back and recognize all of the things in life for which I should feel gratitude. It was a big twist on the construction of a 'gratitude list,' and perhaps it is helpful to seek the perspective of others who care about us in the ways they see our good fortune in life. But if you ask a friend to do this, be sure to return the favor in kind." #7 picsreminisce Report Final score: 186points POST Gin. No tonic Gin.

Truth be told, we sometimes wish we could travel back in time and be kids again. Life can get very hectic when you're an adult. And we'd love to completely detach from all of the anxiety, just for a little while. The war, the pandemic, the economic difficulties-all of these are making us look back to a time when things weren't this bad… or at least when we weren't aware of it all so much. Being taken care of by your family, only having to worry about school or what you'll do with your friends for fun, was a blessing. It's nice to reminisce, but it's also vital not to get too stuck in those feelings: you wouldn't want your quality of life to drop in the present just because you long for the past. And we probably wouldn't want to go back in time if it meant that it wildly changed the future: we wouldn't want to lose all the friends and loved ones we've found along the way. #10 picsreminisce Report Final score: 164points POST emowankinemo emowankinemo Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE BLUE!

View more comments Child and adolescent therapist Kemi Omijeh, a member of the BACP, previously explained to Bored Panda that our childhoods are the foundation of who we are as adults. That's part of the reason why we frequently revisit our childhoods in our memories: our past influences our present. "If we've had a difficult childhood, it can be hard to feel nostalgic, instead it will feel like something we need to get over in order to move on," she explained that not every person will have fond memories of the past. We tend to feel nostalgic for the times when we were happy. Similarly, we shy away from memories that make us feel bad. #13 picsreminisce Report Final score: 134points POST M Kawai M Kawai Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago I miss my FarmVille farm! 39 39points reply View More Replies...
