The Good Old Days

Recently I’ve been thinking a lot about the concept of The Good Old Days.  Looking through old pictures on Facebook or listening to certain albums always evoke certain memories of a time when things were so much easier, simpler, happier – The Good Old Days.

Of course, you rarely recognize those days when you’re in them.  There’s always day-to-day concerns to consume your thoughts in those Good Old Days.  It’s only sometime after, when a certain happy memory pops in your brain that you think, damn, those really were the good ole days.  I’m no exception to this either.

Still, I remember having a spout of the Good Old Days nostalgia the other day when suddenly the whole irony of situation struck me; There I was, thinking about some joyful time in my past, as I was living in KOREA!

Then I realized, I am in the Good Old Days!  Teaching in Korea is great, but at the end of the day it is a job just like any other, and getting bogged down in the day-to-day concerns of it can make you forget where you are sometimes!

So, if you’re reading this, at whatever point in your life you currently find yourself, take a moment and try to find those future Good Old Days in your current situation!
