Thing is, part of what makes high school love special is the fact that there are no kids and no marriages. It's love without responsibility; it's fiery and passionate and, by its very nature, fleeting, and the fact that it's fleeting makes it that much more fantastic.

But why is having that to look back on preferable? And why is on God's green Earth is fleeting a good thing? I don't see the benefit of being jealous of your past self. I'd think it would be better to either prefer what you have now or at least be able to live in hope of having something great in the future.

It's not jealousy; it's fond remembrance. It's possible to be happy with the current state of one's relationship, or one's life, while also being glad that one experienced something akin to "abandon" in one's youth.

I'm never again going to do a keg stand. I have no desire to do one at this age. But I'm glad for the experience of having done a couple in college. For a better example: my first love was reckless and unrealistic and immature, and even if I weren't happily married, I wouldn't want something like it now. But the memory of it is precious, and I'm glad that I have that to look back on.

This. Whenever I am hit by a bang of nostalgia like no other, I tell myself two things:

1.) I am probably not looking at the big picture. That yes, there were times in my life that were wonderful but to only focus on the great (and not necessarily the bad) is unrealistic.

2.) Nobody says I can out-do the happiness I feel now versus the feeling I had then when I was younger. I can out-do old me in terms of acceptance and self-satisfaction. I can be a better version! That is what I'm doing now. Improving my life so that later, I can look at this experience I'm living now with fondness, too.
