"My Golden Days" are not a closed chapter. They are a living ancestor. They walk beside you. They whisper, You were brave once. You can be brave again. You loved deeply. You can love again. You were lost and found yourself. You are not lost now; you are just between maps.
Your first heartbreak, your first failure, your first solo trip. These are not comfortable experiences. But they are vivid . The golden days hurt—but they hurt in a way that made you feel alive. As the poet laureate of nostalgia, Lana Del Rey, sings, “I’m tired of feeling like I’m f---ing crazy / I’m tired of driving ’til I see stars in my eyes.” The exhaustion and the ecstasy are twin flames.
