What makes you feel nostalgic?
Well, I recently discovered Pluto TV 📺, an app that has classic TV shows and channels like I Love Lucy, which has its own channel 24/7!!! It’s free, did I say that?
Well, this channel has Happy Days, Mork from Ork (nano, nano) and Laverne and Shirley. It’s basically my childhood in one channel.
Each show brings me back to a certain age with happy memories. I used TV to check out of real life so all my memories I remember are happy watching these shows.
Mork from Ork was my favorite and resonated the most since my creative out of the box mind loved the “idea” of aliens like Mork. I loved comedy at an early age and Robin Williams was hysterical as his role of Mork. I do know and have read that he was abusing drugs during this time which is sad, but the man was brilliant with or without drugs.
Nostalgia can be a show or a physical object. When I see a large Christmas light or a plastic reindeer with a flameless candle inside, I’m brought back to the 70’s and 80’s Christmas’ with my family.
Nostalgia is remembering happy memories from the past that your brain draws on to create that Dopamine feeling. You can always access those memories and get that feeling back. Maybe that’s why when holiday lights go up, so does Holiday Cheer!!!!
