Once upon a time.

Once upon a time, a younger version of you lived in the past.  And it was pleasant and good, but you didn't realize it at the time.  You wanted to be older--to grow up and to enjoy all the wonderful things that would come with growing up.  You wished that you could be older than you were, that you could be in the future already, that the wonders of the future could be yours right now.

And then you did grow up.  You reached the future that you had dreamed of, and you realized that it wasn't as amazing as you thought that it would be.  You realized that life was sweeter and simpler in the past.

Once upon a time, you wished for the past again.  The present is not quite as lovely as one might imagine.
