Nostalgia .

I have this memory.

I think about it from time to time. 

I can't even tell you when this particular moment occurred; I can't tell you how old I was or what season it was, or even why we were all together. 

But this moment is so meaningful to me because I knew, in that second/minute/hour, that this was going to be a memory that I would look back on and feel nostalgic for.

I remember it was dark, my friends and I were jumping on a trampoline, just laughing. And that's the thing, there is nothing special about this moment, other than just the overwhelming feeling of being so free. Free from responsibility, free from heartache, and free from tragedy. We were naive and ignorant and happy in the best way possible.

I would live in that moment forever if I could.
