The past always looks better

Everything in hindsight looks a lot better, I'm not sure why this is but it's true. When reminiscing about an event or memory from the past, everything just seems a little brighter. When living in the present, or "in the moment" as they say, we don't always have an appreciation of what this moment actually means or how much we'll miss this moment once it's gone. Only when we're "out of the moment" and in the future when we look back, and realize that this moment is rare and won't happen soon do we appreciate our friends or our family more. These heartfelt moments aren't always obvious, they sometimes come in small disguises such as always picking up a friend to go somewhere together, or always studying with a group of friends, these seemingly mundane activities seem very "normal" or anything but special. Once we stop engaging in these activities, and we relive the moments in our memories do we finally perceive how heart warming and "nice" these moments actually are.
