Julie's done a lovely job here. It's all too easy to get a little mawkish about the past, to slip it into a golden bubble and to long for it again. Today, it's worth remembering, is the good old days: in another fifty years someone just like Julie will be popping together a set of references to a remembered past and someone else will be going ahh at its light.
And if it's acceptable that these are the good old days then it must follow suit that regret is insubstantial, and cannot exist. We can't change the past, thank goodness, and we have no operation over the future.
Time will tell. And it always tells the truth.
