I get all soul-searchy and yearn-y whenever I look back at my past.
So I try not to do it much.

Why are those feelings a problem, though? It's all a part of life, of living, to feel a need to search the depths of our souls to answer questions that we don't feel we can find outside of them, to yearn for things we don't have, things we once had and maybe lost. In a sense, one could call these abilities and sensations a gift.

But I will never receive answers. And I will never get the things I yearn for. Which just leads to frustration and melancholy feelings.
-
What answers and objects do you find so impossible to reach?
-
Answers? Pretty much everything. The rules and systems are broken. Nothing works quite right. And why not? Then I just yearn for the company of old friends and family that I'll never see again.

Well, I can't help ya' with either of those. We live in a broken world, that's the nature of our existence. We're broken, imperfect, and as is everything we seem to create, but that's nothing to be despondent about. What's broken can be fixed, what's imperfect can be improved. Will we ever completely fix things? Will we ever achieve perfection? Likely not, but hey, we always have something to work towards. If we didn't, we'd have no future. As for the missing old company bit...it's natural to miss what isn't there anymore, that's just how it goes. But even if those memories can't be relived, in a way you still have those moments. We can't get back the time that passes, but that's one of the purposes of a memory, to have something to look back on and just be glad we had at all.
